2020 Scholarship in Sigrid Strand's fund: Sara with GLOW4equality
The Swedish woman Sigrid Strand had an eye for the need for innovations and technical solutions and she noticed that women generally did not tackle the problems in the same way as men. She founded Sigrid Strand foundation that each year hands out a scholarship to a female inventor in Jämtland, Sweden, to help and empower innovative women and at the same time push development of the region’s entrepreneurship.
- I am honored and grateful that the jury acknowledged my idea and the social entrepreneurship, says Sara Carlemår. The check, worth SEK 30,000, will honor Sigrids wish and memory “Empowering women to empower others” through GLOW4equality’s coaching program.
