Everything You Need to Know About Visa’s She’s Next Programme in Egypt

Visa has launched a new edition of its She’s Next initiative in Egypt, this time in collaboration with Shark Tank.

The programme is built to support women entrepreneurs as they grow and scale their businesses in a more digital-first economy, offering a mix of funding, mentorship, and practical business support.

Selected participants will receive grant funding to help drive business growth, along with access to mentorship and expert guidance. They’ll also get training in digital tools and financial management, exposure to Visa’s global network, and resources to support stronger digital transformation.

Eligibility is open to women-owned or women-led SMEs based in Egypt across a wide range of sectors, including retail, services, and e-commerce. It’s aimed at founders at different stages, from early traction to more established businesses, as long as they’re looking to scale, digitise, or expand.

Applications are open until May 4th, 2026, with shortlisting and evaluation expected by early June.
