01 · The challenge

The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA) wanted to help more women start and grow businesses—but registration was a manual process, and mentorship, government schemes and funding opportunities were scattered across different channels.

02 · The solution

DevGate built WEP Pakistan, a unified bilingual portal where women entrepreneurs register their business online, find mentors, discover funding and government schemes, and access capacity-building resources—connecting them with opportunities at national and global level.

  • Online business registration with document upload & tracking
  • Mentorship marketplace connecting entrepreneurs with advisors
  • Funding and government-scheme discovery
  • Bilingual Urdu & English portal with accessibility compliance
  • Role-based access for entrepreneurs, mentors and administrators

03 · The result

  • 50K+ women entrepreneurs registered
  • 12+ services digitised end to end
  • Registration time cut by 70% compared with the manual process
