Upper Franconia is looking for the entrepreneur of the year 2025 – apply now!
What is happening in Upper Franconia? An exciting event is just around the corner! The Federal Association of Medium-Sized Businesses (BVMW) has started the search for the Female Entrepreneur of the Year 2025. The Women Entrepreneurs Award will be presented in Bayreuth for the fourth time. The award recognizes outstanding women from the regional economy who make a significant contribution to shaping the future and creating jobs. This initiative not only contributes to strengthening medium-sized businesses, but also highlights the image of women entrepreneurs in society. Courier reports about the backgrounds.
The award ceremony will take place on November 18, 2025 in the Kulturquartier in Bayreuth. The categories “Entrepreneur of the Year”, “Startup Entrepreneur of the Year” and the “Heart Prize – the Woman in the Company” are part of the competition. A jury will carefully examine the applications and select the best candidates. Three from each category are nominated, who are then invited to the event. The question here is: Who has the best knack for tackling the challenges of entrepreneurship?
A strong network for female entrepreneurs
The BVMW plays a central role here. The office in Bayreuth has been open since August 2018. Bettina Angerer, the association's full-time representative, is committed to representing the interests of small and medium-sized companies. In addition to organizing this important award, it offers a platform to network owners and managing directors and provide information about current topics in the industry. The network of association members is continually expanding. You can find more information about this on the BVMW website at BVMW.
With a clear focus on positively influencing the image of female entrepreneurs, the award aims to help make women more visible in business. It is important that female entrepreneurs not only promote economic progress, but also represent real role models for future generations. The initiatives launched in recent years are part of a larger plan to bring more women into leadership and entrepreneurial roles. This is in line with the goals of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, which aim to promote gender equality in all areas, including the economy. Further details can be found in the Ministry's dossiers at BMWK.
The Women Entrepreneurs Award in Upper Franconia is not just a competition, but also an important step towards more equal opportunities and visibility in economic life. Women who are active in the economy are crucial for the innovative strength and competitiveness of the region. It remains to be seen which inspiring female entrepreneurs will be honored this year, but one thing is certain: There is great anticipation for the awards ceremony!
