VISA brings “She's Next” to Albania, a global initiative supporting women entrepreneurs

At the premises of "The Plaza Tirana", Visa, a global leader in digital payments, in partnership with BKT bank, brought for the first time to Albania the global initiative She's Next, a program dedicated to empowering women and girls with business aspirations.
She's Next, empowered by Visa is a program designed to support, inspire, and empower women entrepreneurs in a practical way — with real-world insights, inspiring role models, and concrete connections. It serves as a platform for long-term opportunities for women entrepreneurs in Albania, as well as those looking to start their own businesses.
During the event, participants had the opportunity to attend panels with experts from various fields, hear real success stories, and benefit from educational sessions focused on business development.
One of the most interactive moments was the "speed dating" session organized by Innvest, where female entrepreneurs had the opportunity to receive practical advice and create direct connections with professionals and mentors.
She's Next aims to create a supportive community for women in business, helping them grow, connect, and advance their ideas.
