SheHacks Innovate 2025 was created to help women who run small and micro businesses in areas with limited access to training or networks. The program gives them practical knowledge on using digital tools and improving how they manage and grow their businesses.
The series took place in five cities: Jayapura, Ambon, Nias, Banyuwangi, and Pamekasan. Each city hosted a two-day workshop followed by mentoring sessions held online. From every city, one business was chosen to join the SheHacks Ideation Lab for further learning and guidance.

Learning, Mentoring, and Continued Support
Each SheHacks Innovate session followed the same structure: a two-day workshop with lessons, group discussions, and practice exercises. Participants learned about digital tools, marketing, and how to plan for long-term business stability.
After the workshop, mentoring continued online to help them apply what they learned. From every city, one selected participant moved forward to the SheHacks Ideation Lab, where they received further training through an online platform.
By combining local learning with national follow-up, SheHacks Innovate opens more equal opportunities for women entrepreneurs across different regions of Indonesia.
