Join us for an unforgettable evening of inspiration and empowerment at the M+ on 28 August 2025, as we celebrate the remarkable finalists of the SC WIN Now & Next Challenge, organised by Standard Chartered, in partnership with SCMP Live. This event marks the grand finale of an incredible journey of an 8-week LiftHER Global Accelerator Programme designed to propel women-led businesses toward greater success. The 10 finalists will showcase their ideas in a live pitch session, vying for top honours, including the Grand Prize of HKD 500,000.
Beyond the Grand Prize, finalists will also compete for the Innovative Award, Best Social Impact/ESG Award, and Most International Business Award, as judged by an esteemed panel. Meanwhile, the People’s Choice Award will be determined by the audience on the night!
Outside the competition, this evening offers a vibrant opportunity for networking, learning, and inspiration, bringing together female leaders, entrepreneurs, and industry pioneers to connect, exchange ideas, and champion the future of women in business.
