Amazon Sustainable Sellers
WomHub, in collaboration with Amazon, is launching the Amazon Sustainable Sellers Incubator, a programme designed to support and equip female founders in the manufacturing sector with the digital, business, and sustainability skills needed to grow and scale their enterprises. Through targeted training, mentorship, market access opportunities, and tailored support for listing products on Amazon, the programme aims to strengthen women-led manufacturing businesses, improve competitiveness, and drive sustainable economic participation across South Africa.
Participants will gain practical skills in business formalisation, financial management, marketing, quality control, and digital tools, while deepening their understanding of sustainability and circularity within manufacturing. Founders will also be exposed to industry experts, investors, and partners, and may access demand-driven patient capital designed to meet the needs of women-led small businesses in manufacturing. The programme is a hybrid programme and will run approximately 8-9 months in duration and will provide capacity-building training and programming for 35 entrepreneurs in South Africa with the ultimate outcome that they will be onboarded to Amazon’s e-commerce site in South Africa and will have begun generating revenue.
