Ursula Ida Lapp
Ursula Ida Lapp (1930–2021) was a pioneering entrepreneur and co-founder of the globally successful family business LAPP, which develops innovative cable and connectivity solutions. Following the early death of her husband, she took over the leadership of the company together with her sons and grew it into a global market leader — always guided by family values, sustainability, and a particular focus on equal opportunity. The scholarship bearing her name continues this commitment by supporting women on their path to a doctorate. It honours her legacy as a trailblazer and role model, and encourages recipients to pursue their dreams and goals with the same passion and determination that defined Ursula Ida Lapp.
