WEConnect International in North America connects women-owned businesses in Canada and the United States to multinational corporations and government buyers. We certify women-owned businesses in Canada and honor active WBENC certification for businesses in the United States, so women business owners across the region can compete for corporate procurement opportunities in North America and around the world.
WEConnect International registers and certifies growth-oriented women-owned businesses in Canada. Certification confirms a business is at least 51% owned, managed, and controlled by one or more women, and gives certified businesses access to WEConnect International member buyers and our network of 22,000+ women-owned businesses. {Learn about Registration} {Learn about Certification}
WEConnect International does not register or certify businesses headquartered in the U.S. However, U.S.-based women-owned businesses with active WBENC certification are welcome to join our WEConnect International’s global network of buyers and women-owned businesses. We honor your WBENC certification so you can connect with our global community and pursue growth opportunities beyond the United States. A participation fee applies.
