“Entrepreneurs will play a crucial role in helping the Brazilian economy recovery, and this program will help provide support to women entrepreneurs across the country,” Doug Koneff said during the event. 

The RME Digitaliza program offers opportunities for both Brazilian entrepreneurs and U.S. companies, strengthening participants’ access to the digital economy and helping them grow their businesses. 

According to Ana Fontes, from RME, women and girls have been especially affected by the economic and social consequences of the pandemic. “The businesses led by these women have suffered drastic losses, since they are principally focused in sectors most affected during the pandemic, such as food, clothing, tourism and services,” explains Ana Fontes.
