Women Entrepreneurs play a pivotal role in Canada’s prosperity:

• They are one of the fastest growing business segments in Canada
• Canadian firms run by women create new jobs at four times the rate of the national average, collectively providing more jobs than the Canadian Top 100 companies combined
• Women create entire companies at double the rate of the national average
• The number of women incorporated businesses more than doubled during the last decade
• There are 821,000 self employed women contributing $18 Billion dollars to the Canadian economy

The Canadian Woman Entrepreneur Awards and RBC Royal Bank honour the achievements, innovation and vision and provide national recognition to Canada’s women entrepreneurs.

These awards aim to:

• advance their business and personal networks
• provide significant profile and visibility for them and their businesses
• create additional opportunities to actively participate on for-profit and non-profit boards, government committees and/or industry associations
• increase the number of role models and mentors for all entrepreneurs both male and female

Deadline for nominations is July 20th.
