This award recognises organizations in the UK that support and nurture young women in the workforce.

The Women of the Future Corporate Award seeks to identify organisations that are:

  • Showing innovation in how they enable their younger women to fulfil their objectives
  • Engaged in wider public debate about the role of younger women in society

The Women of the Future Awards, founded by Pinky Lilani CBE DL in 2006, were conceived to provide a platform for the remarkable female talent in the UK. The awards are open to all women aged 35 or under. There are three special awards that operate outside of this criteria:

  • Women of the Future Corporate Award (open to an organisation)
