According to the official website, the annual event celebrates women entrepreneurs that have “managed to achieve something extraordinary that has marked their lives and that of others”. This year’s event was themed around “the global transversal impact of digitalisation and technology in society”.
Held on March 24, the 2023 forum honoured three women, including Singapore’s Leanne Robers. The co-founder of She Loves Tech was recognised for dedicating her career to supporting women-led and women-impact tech start-ups. Founded in 2015, She Loves Tech is a start-up accelerator platform that helps to create a supportive ecosystem for female innovators.

“I did not expect to win the Monte Carlo Woman of the Year special award, which was such a surprise and honour. I met so many inspiring women here, including Princess Charlene, whom I had the pleasure of sitting next to during the gala dinner. We exchanged stories about the projects we are involved in and the impact we are excited about creating globally,” Robers shares.
Other winners include Italy’s associate professor Zimi Zawacha and Monaco’s Manila Di Giovanni.
