REGINA — May 10 to 16 is Women Entrepreneurs Week in Saskatchewan, recognizing the important role women-owned businesses play in strengthening Saskatchewan's economy and communities.
Women entrepreneurs continue to make a meaningful impact across the province, according to Sask. Trade and Export Development. Today, about 21 per cent of Saskatchewan's private sector businesses are majority owned by women.
Each year, Women Entrepreneurs Week highlights the achievements of women business owners and the organizations that help them start, grow and scale their businesses. These partnerships provide access to business advising, financing, mentorship, training and networking opportunities that help entrepreneurs succeed.
"Women entrepreneurs are a driving force in Saskatchewan's economy," Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan chief executive officer Miriam Johnson said.
"With more than one in five private sector businesses majority-owned by women, their impact can be seen in communities across the province. At WESK, we are proud to support women entrepreneurs and to celebrate their innovation and leadership during Women Entrepreneurs Week."
