(August 25, 2016) Business Women in International Trade (BWIT), a program of the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) which supports Canadian women entrepreneurs as they pursue opportunities in international markets, recently contributed a blog post to the Canada Business Network website. The blog emphasizes that “certification enables women-owned businesses that are export ready to benefit from direct access to supplier diversity and procurement executives at hundreds of multinational corporations.”
