An evening of recognition at the BVMW Women Entrepreneurs Award Upper Franconia 2023

On November 14, the Porsche Center Bayreuth hosted the third presentation of the Upper Franconia Women Entrepreneurs Award. The festive gala evening offered inspiring encounters and deserved recognition for outstanding female entrepreneurs.

The Female Entrepreneur Awards, presented by BVMW Bayreuth / Upper Franconia, were presented in three categories: “Female Entrepreneur of the Year”, “Female Start-up Entrepreneur of the Year” and the “Heart Award – the Woman in the Company”. In each category, three impressive women were presented in person and in sound and vision.

The jury worked in secret for more than ten days, so no one knew which female entrepreneurs would be on stage until the gala – it was like the suspense at the Oscars.

Our esteemed board member Karin Wolf was also among the nominees for the Heart Award. Her outstanding professional achievements, her personality and her commitment made her a worthy candidate. Even though she was unable to take home the award this time, she is one of the winners. For us, she remains the radiant lady of RAPA’s heart.

Congratulations, Karin! Your commitment and entrepreneurial spirit are priceless.


We would also like to congratulate this year’s award winners:

  • Gabriele Göhl received the “Heart Award”.
  • Janneke Klasen was voted “Entrepreneur of the Year”.
  • Miriam Martin Gonzales took the stage as “Start-up Entrepreneur of the Year”.
  • Dr. Dorothee Strunz was awarded an honorary prize.

A big thank you goes to Bettina Angerer, association representative and organizer, for the successful organization of this inspiring evening.

Let’s work together for more women in self-employment, in management positions and in entrepreneurship!
