WEConnect International in Europe and MENA is the leading initiative spearheading the connection of women entrepreneurs to multinational corporations and European government bodies. Our mission is to ensure that majority women-owned businesses (51%+) have access to corporate and public sector procurement bids locally, nationally, and internationally.
We currently offer certification in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and United Kingdom.
In 2025, Disneyland Paris is supporting WEConnect International to bring together women-owned businesses to participate in a customised program, including workshops tailored to their expressed interests and needs, in addition to mentoring opportunities with the Disneyland Paris team for meaningful exchanges to help support their business growth. In parallel, Disneyland Paris is aiming to register and certify 100 French women-owned businesses in its own supply chain over the next three years for even greater impact and visibility, through WEConnect International.
We are thrilled to announce an exciting new initiative, with support from JPMorgan Chase, to elevate and open up new business opportunities for women-owned businesses in France, with a focus on the Greater Paris region!

We are proud to share an exciting milestone in our journey to empower women entrepreneurs and foster local engagement. We’ve partnered with 10 exceptional certified women-owned businesses, each of whom brings invaluable expertise and insight to help us address the unique needs of their communities. Together, we are working to develop personalised initiatives that create meaningful impact in their respective countries.
These inspiring leaders are more than just collaborators—they are the heart of our mission to connect, support, and grow a thriving network of women entrepreneurs. Their dedication and local knowledge ensure that our initiatives are tailored, effective, and aligned with the realities of their communities.
If you’re looking to get involved in what we’re doing across Europe, we encourage you to reach out to these incredible women. They are your direct point of contact for exploring opportunities, sharing ideas, and becoming part of this growing movement.
We extend our deepest gratitude to these trailblazing women for their commitment and passion in helping our community flourish. Your efforts are not only driving growth but also creating a stronger, more supportive ecosystem for women entrepreneurs. We look forward to building a fruitful partnership and making a lasting impact together!
We have recorded a series of Procurement Insight Sessions with some of our member buyers. These sessions provide an overview of how procurement works within these firms; their expectations of potential suppliers; what suppliers should be ready for if participating in a tender process with them and clear insight into what these firms do (and don’t) buy.
