23 women to watch in 2023
Creative, active and courageous, they are pushing forward business, science, culture and social life. For the second time, we present the female leaders worth watching in the coming months.
Startupers, entrepreneurs, scientists, social innovators, activists – the winners of our annual February lists are women who are behind economic, social and cultural development and progress, play important, though not foreground roles, and are changing the world for the better with their actions. There are dozens of them. Since they mostly remain more widely unknown, in Forbes Women we want to showcase them. The 23 women leaders for 2023 were named by a 10-member jury. Experts selected them from among 55 candidates chosen jointly with the editors of “Forbes Women” from among leaders of change in various spheres of Polish social and economic life.
