Female Leadership: HWZ awards Scholarship again
Once again this year, HWZ—in collaboration with Ladies Drive and, for the first time, elleXX—is seeking women who want to drive digital transformation. To this end, an exclusive scholarship worth 58,000 Swiss francs for the HWZ Executive MBA in Digital Leadership will be awarded for the second time.
The business magazine for women Ladies Drive by Sandra-Stella Triebl, the financial media platform for women elleXX, which was founded among others by Patrizia Laeri, advisory board member of the Institute for Digital Business HWZ, and the HWZ are teaming up this year and jointly award a scholarship for an Executive MBA Digital Leadership.
The support project was launched in 2022 by the HWZ together with Sandra-Stella Triebl from Swiss Ladies Drive. It is aimed at future female executives and pursues the goal of encouraging digitally savvy women to become even more involved in the ongoing transformation process of their companies and to help shape it themselves.
The scholarship, which is endowed with 58,000 Swiss francs, was awarded for the first time last year as part of this sponsorship project. The nomination process for this year's scholarship runs from now until the end of October. The winner will be announced at the beginning of December 2023.
Promotion of female leadership
"By awarding the scholarship, we want to give a future 'digital leader' the opportunity to help shape digital transformation," explains Daniela Dunne, Head of Marketing & Communications at HWZ. Sandra-Stella Triebl adds, "We are excited to now offer even more women the opportunity to experience this fantastic education at HWZ through our newly born alliance with elleXX."
For Patrizia Laeri, too, getting involved in such an initiative is a matter close to her heart. "It's essential today, especially for women, to have their finger on the pulse of tech trends and to challenge old ways of thinking and business models."
