Two women from Leipzig and Dresden have won Saxony’s 2025 Female Founders’ Award. The prize recognises their achievements in building successful businesses. Each winner received €5,000 for their contributions to entrepreneurship in the region.
Babett Baraniec took home the award in the Startup category. Her platform, Krebs Campus, provides digital support for cancer patients, their families, and caregivers. The service includes educational modules and a moderated online community to help users navigate treatment and recovery.
Elisa Röhr won in the Growth category for her company, 1mal1japan. The online retailer specialises in meal kits, groceries, and accessories for Japanese cooking. Since launching, the business has attracted over 400,000 monthly users.
