VŠE graduates succeeded in the Top Czech Women 2020 Awards

In the 16th year of the Top Czech Women 2020 Awards, organized by the Economia media, VŠE graduates prevailed in all categories. The competition has three main categories (Businesswoman, Manager, Public Sector) and a special Start-Up category. The selection criteria for the main categories according to which the expert jury evaluates the nominated women are their influence, performance, business story and social contribution. In the Start-Up category, innovation, the ability to reach investors and growth potential are evaluated. In the main categories, 25 women are always awarded and the first 3 places are announced by name. We are very happy that in all categories there is at least one VŠE graduate among the Top 3. We especially appreciate the success in the category of Businesswoman and Manager, where VŠE has 100% representation.
