WISE100 Women in Social Enterprise 2024 top 100 revealed – plus 30 ‘Ones to Watch’

Today we reveal the much anticipated seventh edition of the WISE100 List, produced annually by Pioneers Post in partnership with NatWest Social & Community Capital. 

This carefully selected list brings together the UK’s 100 leading women in social enterprise, impact investment and mission-driven business.

This year, for the first time, we also have our 30 Ones to Watch, a new list of 30 women who didn’t make it on to the Top 100 this year but who we think are doing brilliant work and are women to watch out for in the social enterprise and impact investing space.

From the Top 100 women, winners will be selected across five categories: Social Business Woman, Star of the Future, Social Investment Champion, Environmental Champion, and Equality & Empowerment Champion. The winners will be revealed at the WISE100 awards ceremony which will be held on 7 March at NatWest’s headquarters in central London.

• Discover the WISE100 2024 finalists and sign up to our newsletter for regular updates.

Booking is still open to attend the awards ceremony. You can also watch live via this Zoom link.
