Stronger Together: Female Fusion Network And Zbooni Sign Partnership Agreement To Support Region’s Female Entrepreneurs

Zbooni, MENA’s leading digital enabler for SMEs, has signed a formal agreement with Female Fusion Network, the UAE’s largest and most engaged community for women in business. The partnership will help strengthen support for women entrepreneurs by giving them access to research and insight from Zbooni’s data analytics team, training and events, and advice towards financial empowerment, which is often a large barrier for SMEs. Zbooni will benefit from interaction with an open and honest forum of women, to help hone its services to better serve the region’s female business leaders and owners.

Together, Female Fusion and Zbooni will add tremendous value to the professional development and growth of members across both networks, curating workshops and providing practical information to address key concerns and challenges. Moreover, the partnership will provide members with access to a live support centre on invoicing and financial management related issues, providing them with quick and pragmatic advice.

CEO and co-founder of Zbooni, Ramy Assaf, said: “Nearly half of Zbooni’s merchants are women, so it’s acutely important for us to understand the female SME landscape. Our new partnership with Female Fusion allows us to listen and learn from inspirational members and hear what they need to empower their success and drive practical, real-world results. Zbooni is proud to contribute to the Female Fusion Network, as we share common values in passionately helping businesses flourish.”

We look forward to collaborating with Zbooni to further support and help women grow their businesses even more.”
