The Jury for the Regional Awards and the Science & Technology Pioneer Award is composed of 40 high-profile individuals and is divided into 7 regional jury panels (Latin America & the Caribbean, North America, Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East & North Africa, East Asia, South Asia & Oceania) and one Science & Technology thematic panel. They are chosen on the basis of their entrepreneurial experience, business achievements, and their commitment to supporting women entrepreneurs. They play a key role in reviewing the candidates’ applications and selecting the finalists and laureates. The jury members then give feedback to the laureates and finalists and thereafter provide additional support and connections to the entrepreneurs.
