The challenges that women entrepreneurs face are universal. Together, Visa in collaboration with IFW, have been creating access to funding and education for small businesses around the world through the Visa She’s Next Grant Program. Stay tuned for active and upcoming programs below.
The Scotiabank Women's Initiative and Visa She's Next firmly believe in the potential of women in business and share the goal of empowering their development and leadership, breaking down the barriers that limit their professional and business success. That is why on this occasion they join forces to recognize the leadership of women in the management and implementation of digital transformation strategies in business, opening possibilities for their companies to be increasingly competitive in scenarios where modernization and digitization are a must.
As part of this initiative, three (3) entrepreneurs selected for their leadership and management will receive a USD $5,000 cash prize and a place to attend the renowned "Digital Marketing & E-Commerce" diploma program offered by Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez.
