Growing Global: Unlocking Women Entrepreneurs Export Potential for Economic Recovery
Exports are an important driver of economic growth and innovation, now more than ever before. As we focus on economic recovery post COVID-19, access to international markets opens doors to networks of peers, new markets and diversified consumer bases, development of new products and services ideas, and access to diversity and talent on a global scale.
On Thursday, October 8, join the Women Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub (WEKH) in partnership with BDC and EDC, for highlights from the upcoming Women Global Trade Report and a frank panel discussion on the benefits of exporting for women entrepreneurs.
A recording will be available if you are not able to attend live.
