HONG KONG HKD1M "SC WIN Now & Next Challenge

This International Women’s Month, we are incredibly excited and proud to partner with Standard Chartered to launch the HKD 1M "SC WIN Now & Next Challenge", a new initiative designed to empower women entrepreneurs. This program combines LIFTWOMEN®’s expertise in financial education, funding, and business mentorship with the global network and financial resources of the SC Women’s International Network (SC WIN) to provide comprehensive support for women-led businesses.10 finalists will received full scholarship to LIFTWOMEN®'s Global Accelerator Program and 5 winners will be awarded a total of nearly HKD 1 million (AUD $200,000) to accelerate their business growth.

The launch event on 6th March brought together prominent female entrepreneurs from the startup and business sectors. LIFTWOMEN® has been at the forefront of empowering women entrepreneurs through alternative funding pathways, including crowdfunding, grants, and financial education. By partnering with Standard Chartered Hong Kong, this initiative will further expand access to capital, skills, and global networks, enabling more women to thrive and scale beyond borders.
