NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

In its 10th anniversary year, Grameen America is reaching the milestone of investing $1 billion in the businesses of more than 100,000 low-income women entrepreneurs. The microfinance organization is on an upward and continued trajectory of growth, and they have been able to expand due to a number of factors that include investing in strong leadership, highly-skilled human capital, a culture of innovation, and, not least of all, technological platforms and tools that facilitate efficiency and financial sustainability.

1. Partnering for scale
2. Technology platforms that enable product delivery, digitization of operations, and a seamless customer experience
