WBE Canada 2017 Membership & Sponsorship Packages

Be a leader in empowering women owned businesses.

2

Women make or influence 85% of all purchasing decisions.

Women business owners in Canada have 50% of the revenue of their male counterparts.

Women retain ownership in 47% of Canada’s 1.6 million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and majority ownership in 17% of Canadian SMEs.

A 20% increase in total revenues among majority female-owned enterprises will add an extra $2 billion to the Canada’s economy.

Imagine what could happen if women entrepreneurs had access to the knowledge that would allow them to get their products and services to the right buyer in the right way.

Supporting women-owned businesses is not just good business, it’s good for business.

WBE Canada certifies majority-owned, managed, and controlled women’s businesses and facilitates opportunities for them to meet buyers and get access to bids for corporate contracts as part of supplier diversity programs.

We have empowered women businesses and made the business case for supplier diversity by:

• organizing inspiring live events: 8 annual conferences since 2009 and 23 Breakfast with Brands

• delivering 8 educational webinars annually

• facilitating 5 mentoring partnerships in 2017
