Women entrepreneurs significantly impact economic growth and employment creation while rooted in broader social and environmental goals. Even when dealing with challenges, they remain optimistic about the future and have shown remarkable endurance and resilience by incorporating innovative and creative methods. According to The State of Women’s Entrepreneurship in Canada 2022 by the Women Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub, in December 2020, women were the majority owners of around 16.8% of SMEs in Canada, or approximately 205,188 entrepreneurs.
The CanadianSME Award’s Business Woman of the Year Award recognizes the efforts and hard work that women entrepreneurs have put into building a business that allows them to be economically independent while sending out a strong message of corporate responsibility towards economic growth and environmental conservation.
Business Woman of the Year
The Business Woman of the Year Award is presented to honour and rewards women entrepreneurs who have earned an achievement in the competitive business world. The judges are searching for a female entrepreneur who has effectively overcome obstacles to develop a strong and growing business.
Why and Where to Apply
Women entrepreneurs enter the area of business not to make money but to materialize their goals and passions and to develop an organization that symbolizes their views and beliefs. In a competitive field like entrepreneurship, where women entrepreneurs must overcome prejudices based on their gender, rising above the obstacles and growing a successful business is challenging. However, women entrepreneurs who have made remarkable business strides deserve to be recognized. If you believe you are the fighter who has brought your dreams to reality and your business to success, then register for the CanadianSME Awards to receive the recognition you deserve.
