Visa Everywhere Pioneer 20 Programme 2024

This informs the public about the Visa Everywhere Pioneer 20 Programme 2024. Details about the Program are given below. WeAreTheCity has partnered with Visa, a world leader in digital payments, to announce the launch of the 2024 Visa Everywhere Pioneer 20 following the inaugural edition in 2023.

Visa Everywhere Pioneer 20 Programme 2024

This pioneering initiative aims to recognise and celebrate the remarkable contributions of refugee women across Europe who are entrepreneurs, leading small or micro businesses and social enterprises, giving them an opportunity to tell their stories and showcase their businesses.

To further support their growth, the selected pioneers will have access to business coaching and mentors. Visa will also donate £50,000 to refugee support organisations in support of this initiative more generally.

As the world faces unprecedented challenges, it is crucial to highlight the stories of resilience, strength, and determination that refugee women bring to their communities and local economies.

The Visa Everywhere Pioneer 20 recognition programme will spotlight entrepreneurs who are not only overcoming personal hardships but are also actively reshaping narratives, empowering both women and girls and leaving a lasting positive impact on society.
