Women Who Empower: Innovator Awards

Launched in 2021, the Women Who Empower Innovator Awards recognize bold, creative changemakers in Northeastern’s entrepreneurial ecosystem—and provide them with capital, resources, and networks to elevate their ideas, products, businesses, and brands. What truly sets the Innovator Awards apart is that they celebrate the innovators themselves, not just their idea or venture. Applications are open to all Northeastern students and alumni. Program applicants are reviewed by a team of experienced judges on rubrics including creativity, leadership, entrepreneurship, authenticity, community and belonging, track record, and the potential impact of their idea.
