Eligibility: Asia

Description:  

The UN Women Care and Climate Entrepreneurship Accelerator, supported by the Visa Foundation, is a gender-smart acceleration program designed to support women-owned or women-benefitting enterprises in the Asia-Pacific and Latin America regions. It targets businesses operating at the intersection of the care and green economies—ranging from childcare, elder care, and domestic services to renewable energy, climate-smart agriculture, and circular economy innovations.

Selected early- and growth-stage enterprises will receive tailored support including business strategy, operational improvements, financial readiness, gender-responsive training, and access to mentors, partners, and capital opportunities. Grants between US$5,000 and US$100,000 are available, with a personalized support journey from September 2025 to June 2026. Applicants must be for-profit entities with operations in South or Southeast Asia, woman-owned/led, and generating revenue for at least two years.
