The Visa She’s Next program is designed to provide funding, training, and mentorship to women entrepreneurs, helping them to grow their businesses. Visa has invested over USD 3M in the program as part of its goal to digitally enable 50M small businesses globally.
In Egypt, the 2023 She’s Next winners are three young entrepreneurs who embody resilience, creativity, and a strong commitment to positive change.
Salma Tammam’s Reme-D is a pioneering initiative that offers affordable disease testing technologies and bridges critical healthcare gaps. Hadeer Shalaby’s Green Fashion empowers marginalized communities with eco-friendly fashion from discarded materials, while Nihal Ali’s Fincart revolutionizes e-commerce shipping with AI-driven solutions that reduce carbon footprints and enhance efficiency.
Thanks to Visa’s support, these trailblazers are shaping a brighter, more inclusive future. According to Visa’s Women Digitization Index Study, 97% of women entrepreneurs in Egypt would like to digitize their businesses, but 95% said they need digital payments training.
