Empowering women-led businesses for success
Women are making significant strides in the Canadian business world—launching and leading successful companies, driving job creation, and contributing to economic growth.
However, research shows that women leaders still face unique challenges and barriers when taking their businesses to the next level, often lacking the same professional advice or access to capital as their male counterparts.
