HerVenture in Egypt

With support from partners, our award-winning HerVenture app has been made available to women entrepreneurs in Egypt!

Women in Egypt are highly entrepreneurial, yet many face challenges in formalising, sustaining and growing their businesses. While nearly a third of Egyptian women engage in early-stage entrepreneurship, only 14% run established firms. Most women operate informally in home-based microenterprises, with limited access to networks, business skills training, and other crucial resources. This is especially true in rural communities, where most women entrepreneurs in Egypt live.

The HerVenture app addresses these challenges by providing relevant, flexible and practical business training that is tailored to women’s needs. Through the app, women gain foundational business knowledge and skills, confidence and self-belief to start and grow businesses, support their entrepreneurial journeys and digitise their enterprises. HerVenture offers essential business training and support on the go. It features a range of learning tracks on topics including launching a business, accessing finance, expanding market access, e-commerce, mobile wallet, and more.
