She’s next: Trag Foundation and Visa support female entrepreneurship
She’s Next empowered by VISA is an initiative that aims to provide support and inspiration to women in the world of entrepreneurship to start their own entrepreneurial stories.
Thanks to this initiative, the She’s Next community was launched last fall, which already has over 6,000 members. Through the Newsletter, the She’s Next community informs its members about further activities and provides practical resources, advice and educational content dedicated to the topics of entrepreneurial life, written for them by experts and educators from the relevant fields.
The company Visa, as part of the new cycle of the She’s Next program, in partnership with the Trag Foundation, continues to support female entrepreneurship in Serbia. The program aims to empower both current and future female entrepreneurs, who implement their business ideas as individuals, entrepreneurs, directors/founders of small and medium enterprises or directors/founders of citizens’ associations.

– Three entrepreneurial ideas will receive non-refundable support in the maximum amount of 5,000 euros per project;
