The six finalists for the 22nd edition of the Premio GammaDonna 2026 have been announced. The award, which recognizes innovative female entrepreneurship, will hold its final ceremony on November 5 at the Unione Industriali di Torino in Italy.

In addition to the main prize, the event will present the Women Startup Award and the Giuliana Bertin Communication Award. The finalists are recognized for transforming innovation and technical skills into viable business models and products capable of addressing evolving market needs.

The announcement highlights the broader European challenge of scaling technological innovation into globally competitive enterprises. It notes that female talent remains an underutilized resource in terms of access to capital, networks, and scaling opportunities, a gap that initiatives like the Scaleup Europe Fund aim to address.
