The selection criteria for the startups will be based on several factors, such as the team, market potential, business model, and social impact. The selection process will be undertaken by a panel of experts from different industry sectors.
“Our goal is to empower women entrepreneurs by providing support to achieve their dreams and reach their full potential,” said Danesa Raghulal, Executive Director of Elite Foods and Innovation.
