At Shopify, they believe that entrepreneurship is an opportunity for everyone and want to make sure that it remains so. 

One of the keys to empowering aspiring entrepreneurs is to provide them with the necessary skills to build and grow their business.

In France, Shopify offers training sessions on retail and e-commerce through a partnership with Diversidays, a French association promoting inclusivity in the digital sector. Each session equips aspiring and new entrepreneurs with the skills needed to launch and grow their commerce and retail businesses both offline and online. Hundreds of participants attend to gain the necessary skillset for success in the retail sector. 

Shopify also believes in empowering women in tech. For instance, during Girls' Day in Germany in 2023, Shopify volunteers hosted 20 young women in Berlin, introducing them to entrepreneurship through workshops, panel discussions, and merchant spotlights.
