Spotlight on Industry Shapers: WESA 2025 Celebrates Excellence in Real Estate and Entrepreneurship

The Women Enterprise Awards (WESA) continues to spotlight the exceptional achievements of women transforming Kenya’s economic and social landscape. As part of the WESA Conference 2025, we are proud to introduce two prestigious award categories that celebrate excellence in real estate and entrepreneurship: the Real Estate Leader Award and the WESA Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

These awards recognize visionary women whose leadership and innovation are not only reshaping industries but also contributing to national development. If you are a pioneer in real estate or an entrepreneur who has built a thriving business with purpose, this is your moment to shine.

Real Estate Leader Award

This award honors a woman who has demonstrated exceptional leadership, innovation, and transformative impact within Kenya’s real estate, property development, or construction sectors. The nominee must have a proven track record of successfully delivering projects that enhance the country’s built environment—whether in urban or rural areas—while upholding integrity and sustainability. From affordable housing to commercial developments, this award recognizes those redefining the standards of excellence in the industry.

WESA Entrepreneur of the Year

This is the highest recognition within the Women Enterprise Awards. It celebrates an extraordinary Kenyan woman who has built a highly successful and impactful enterprise. The ideal nominee is a trailblazer – someone whose business showcases strong financial performance, sustainability, strategic growth, and a meaningful contribution to Kenya’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Her influence extends beyond profit, driving social change, employment, and innovation.

Are you leading transformation in real estate or business? These awards are a chance to gain national recognition, connect with fellow changemakers, and inspire the next generation of women leaders.

Nominations for WESA 2025 are now open. Review the criteria and submit your entry today. Because when women lead boldly, nations grow stronger.
