Novi exists to recognise and celebrate the women who are breaking barriers, challenging expectations and creating meaningful change across every industry.

We believe that extraordinary talent exists everywhere — in every sector, every organisation and every stage of a career. But too often, remarkable women remain unseen, unheard or underestimated. The Novi Awards shine a light on those women.

From business and technology to healthcare, finance, creative industries, education, public service and beyond, Novi celebrates women who are making an impact, opening doors and paving the way for others to follow. But Novi is more than an awards programme.

It is a community built around connection, inspiration and opportunity. By bringing together women from different industries, backgrounds and experiences, we create a powerful network where ideas are shared, relationships are built and possibilities are expanded.

A woman working in one industry can be inspired by, supported by and connected to a woman changing another. Because breaking barriers rarely happens alone. Every nominee, finalist and winner becomes part of the Novi community — a collective of ambitious women and allies who believe in supporting the next generation of leaders.

Our mission is simple:
To celebrate women who break barriers today, while creating the connections and confidence that help others break through tomorrow.
