Criteria For Application On She Entrepreneurs 2024
The Swedish Institute appoints a selection committee consisting of senior entrepreneurs and field experts. Each application is evaluated by two different members of the selection committee.
Each application is evaluated according to the following criteria:
- Business potential
- Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals
- The potential of the applicant as an entrepreneur
SI will contact the 50 selected applicants by email to offer them a place in the programme. SI will also compose a list of reserve candidates in case a second selection round is needed. Unfortunately, because of the large number of applications for a limited number of spots, we have to turn down many highly qualified candidates who apply to the programme.
