Collaborators and Partners

Partners, allies, collaborators, here is a non-exhaustive list of organizations that support women’s leadership in New Brunswick and in Canada.

Women Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub

The WEKH shares research and resources on women entrepreneurs in Canada. Made up of 10 regional hubs, WEKH operates in both official languages and includes a network of over 250 organizations, reaching more than 100,000 women entrepreneurs.

Women Entrepreneurship Strategy (WES)

Advancing gender equality and women's economic empowerment isn't just the right thing to do—it's also the smart thing to do. Studies show that by advancing gender equality and women's participation in the economy, Canada could add billions of dollars in GDP.

Only 17.8% of Canadian small and medium-sized businesses are owned by women. The Government of Canada is working to change that with Canada's first ever Women Entrepreneurship Strategy (WES), launched in 2018.

WES includes nearly $7 billion in investments and commitments that are helping hundreds of thousands of women access the financing, networks and expertise they need to start up, scale up and expand into international markets.

Find out how the WES is helping Canadian businesswomen find success.
