“The best thing to do is to rename the Volkshalle tonight the ‘Strong Women’ Hall.”
“The best thing to do is to rename the Volkshalle tonight the ‘Strong Women’ Hall.”


With this sentence, City Councillor Barbara Novak, MA opened the evening in Vienna City Hall – and hit the mood in the room pretty much exactly.
Where politics is usually made, around 300 women (and a few courageous men) gathered that evening โ with competence, entrepreneurial power and a clear claim to shape our economy.




The hashtag#Minerva Award from sheconomy, named after the Greek goddess of wisdom and craftsmanship, is much more than an award.
It bundles what is otherwise often seen too little: female performance, leadership and future competence.


Seven categories, countless impressive personalities โ and a room full of energy, courage and creative drive. Or, as KRISTIN HANUSCH-LINSER put it:
“Women are not a temporary solution. No repair measure.
They are crucial for the future.”

For the fifth time, Sheconomy showed in a festive setting how it can be done: With networks, funding โ and the clear will not only to discuss change, but to implement it.
There was dancing, laughing, shedding a little tear in the face of many a speech, and a lot of discussion with each other.

A wonderful evening that has a lasting effect. Thank you to everyone who made it possible and supported this magnificent moment.
