The Contest aims to activate and unleash women’s innovation and creativity in green development, technological innovation, cultural creativity, healthcare, education and training, finance, cross-border e-commerce, and other fields. Hosted by China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and China Chamber of International Commerce (CCOIC), with DHgate and BRICS WBA China Chapter members including China Investment Corporation, GREE sponsoring, BRICS WBA Brazil, Russia, India, and South Africa Chapters co-sponsoring, the Contest is organized by Deloitte and will focus on recognizing women who are devoted to promoting social welfare and economic development in different fields. The Contest also seeks to promote the exchange of best practices and innovative initiatives led by women and advance cooperation among businesswomen across BRICS nations.

Inspired by the concept of putting people first, the BRICS Women Innovation Contest was first proposed at the BRICS Summit in November 2020 by the Chinese State Leader and received wide support from all BRICS Leaders. DHgate has been supportive in facilitating both the first and now the second Contest, in addition to driving many other similar initiatives to help women recognize their potential and power along their career paths.

“Women’s strengths have long been underestimated, and women’s empowerment has been greatly impacted amid the pandemic. We hope to contribute in helping women and women-led businesses to survive and thrive, through more empowerment initiatives like the BRICS Women Innovation Contest. We want to help and encourage women to be proud and expand their skillset with digital tools, and eventually be someone in the entrepreneurial world or workplace,” said Diane Wang, Founder, Chairperson, and CEO of DHgate.
