Visa, a world leader in digital payments, and Birbank Biznes celebrated the launch of the fourth wave of She’s Next Empowered by Visa in Azerbaijan with She’s Next Brunch, an event bringing together women entrepreneurs, media and representatives of the program's partners.
The event marked the launch of She’s Next in Digital, a new edition of the initiative aimed at supporting women in growing their businesses by providing free education and financial support.
