Entrepreneurship is a challenging space for everyone, particularly for women, as they face extra barriers and hurdles to overcome. When women make an impact as entrepreneurs, their accomplishments are well worth recognising and celebrating.
The Golden Bauhinia Women Entrepreneur Association (GBWEA) is dedicated to harnessing the wisdom and dynamism of local businesswomen as well as promoting the business community’s focus on women entrepreneurs and their significant contributions. It organises the biennial "Golden Bauhinia Women Entrepreneur Awards" (the Awards) to fulfil this goal.
This year, the event marked its 5th anniversary with a spectacular award presentation ceremony in late October 2024.
The event is more than just a festive get-together for businesswomen and professionals from diverse fields to share the joy of celebrating one another’s accomplishments. The Awards recognises female entrepreneurs who have made outstanding achievements and significant contributions in their respective specialised areas. While excelling in their individual endeavours and making contributions that matter to all of us, these female entrepreneurs spread positive energy in society with love and care.
A total of 27 outstanding women leaders were honoured in this ceremony, across seven categories: “Business Excellence Award,” “Arts & Cultural Achievement Award,” “Power of Next Generation Award,” “Philanthropy Award,” “Leading Pioneer ESG Award,” “Technology Innovation Award,” and “Start Up Z35 Award.” The GBWEA has designed the Awards’ categories to reflect the fast-evolving business landscape and needs in Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and globally.
The panel of judges generously dedicated their time and energy to rigorous vetting and judging the entrants based on a set of criteria. The key aspects are entrepreneurial spirit and initiative, excellence of the affiliated business/institution, business ethics and social responsibility, and adherence to specific criteria for each award category.
Amid the cheers and applause from the attendees, the Awards was successfully concluded. While all attendees acknowledged the significant achievements of the awardees, they pledged their continued commitment to enhancing the resilience of the business environment and making a positive impact on society in Hong Kong and the GBA.
The GBWEA is among the first cohort of trade organisations in Hong Kong aimed at bringing together businesswomen from diverse occupations. Founding members were women entrepreneurs and senior executives actively engaged in local industries, businesses, professional, and service sectors, who care for the business environment in Hong Kong, their own career development, and the exploration of further opportunities within the GBA.
