What does Atlantic Canada’s growth agenda mean for women business owners?

The Atlantic Economic Panel’s Greater Prosperity for All report calls for a more ambitious economic future; one focused on productivity, investment, technology, scale and access to larger markets.

But what does that mean for women entrepreneurs?

For women-owned businesses ready to grow, it could mean new opportunities to access capital, compete for larger contracts, adopt new technology, enter new markets and build the capacity to scale.

In our latest article, we take a closer look at what the Panel’s recommendations could mean for women business owners and why ensuring women are part of Atlantic Canada’s growth story matters.

Read the full article on the CWB website, and explore the Greater Prosperity for All report from the Atlantic Economic Panel.
