Empowering Women Entrepreneurs: The Asia Foundation Transfers B2B Platform to Mongolia Tech Start-up

The Asia Foundation in Mongolia has officially transferred the B2B platform to the Mongolia-based tech start-up Gerege Systems LLC. The Asia Foundation originally partnered with Gerege Systems to develop a comprehensive platform under the “Supporting Women Entrepreneurs in Mongolia Using Digital Platforms for Business to Business” project. The B2B e-commerce platform is a comprehensive support system for women entrepreneurs and enhances women-led supply chains across Mongolia 

The platform has directly interacted with over 600 women entrepreneurs through events and training sessions and now serves 193 registered clients, and 21 women-owned shops. 

Now, the Gerege Systems plans to integrate the platform into a new mobile app, aiming to connect 2.8 million users across Mongolia. They will expand their network of 376 kiosks, which currently offer 600+ digital services, to cover all cities and provinces. Partnering with financial institutions, Gerege will provide micro-loans to support rural women entrepreneurs. The company also aims to recruit more women-led businesses and introduce B2C services with delivery options to boost sales. 

In partnership with financial institutions, Gerege Systems will introduce microfinance opportunities specifically tailored to support rural women entrepreneurs. The company aims to increase the participation of medium-sized women-led businesses and offer B2C services and delivery options to boost sales. 

Key partners providing digital solutions and support for women entrepreneurs in this initiative include the Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MNCCI), Beautiful Hearts Against Sexual Violence NGO, and Green Balloon LLC.
