We're taking our collaboration with WEOC (Women Entrepreneurship Opportunities Centre) to the next level. 🚀

The Réseau des Femmes d'affaires du Québec and Women's Enterprise Organizations of Canada (WEOC) have signed a national collaboration agreement to strengthen our shared commitment to supporting women entrepreneurs across Canada. 📝

What does this mean?

It means more women-owned businesses will be connected to opportunities, partnerships, and markets through Maïa, Canada's largest business marketplace dedicated to the growth of women-owned businesses. 📈

Together, we'll work to:
• Increase awareness of Maïa across Canada

• Connect more women entrepreneurs to business opportunities

• Expand access to markets and strategic partnerships

• Strengthen a national ecosystem where women do business together

Because when organizations work together, women entrepreneurs go further.

Together, we grow stronger.



The Maïa Inclusive Growth project is funded by the Women Entrepreneurship Strategy (WES), an initiative of the Government of Canada (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada). Lead collaborating partners BDC and Women's Enterprise Organizations of Canada (WEOC).

An RFP might sound formal. Complicated. Maybe even like something only big companies do. 🫠

But it doesn’t have to be!

Need a photographer for an upcoming event? Looking for a new supplier? An accountant? A graphic designer? A business to collaborate with?

At its core, a Request for Proposal (RFP) is simply a way of saying: “Here’s what my business needs. Who can help?”

And that’s exactly what you can do on Maïa. 😅

Post what you’re looking for, big or small, and connect with women-owned businesses across Canada that may have exactly what you need.

Your next great supplier, partner or collaborator could already be in the Maïa network.

Log back in. Post your need. Make a connection.

Together, we grow stronger.

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

Today, we're celebrating more than our country—we're celebrating the women entrepreneurs helping shape its future.

Every business started.
Every partnership formed.

Every recommendation shared.

Together, they strengthen Canada's economy.

At Maïa, we believe growth doesn't have to come from somewhere else. It already exists within our own community. When women choose to do business with women, everyone moves forward. This Canada Day, let's continue building an economy where opportunities are created, shared, and multiplied—together.

Because together, we grow.

Chaque entreprise créée.
Chaque partenariat établi.
Chaque contrat attribué.
Chaque recommandation partagée.

Ensemble, elles renforcent l'économie canadienne.

Chez Maïa, nous croyons que la croissance ne doit pas venir de l'extérieur. Elle existe déjà au sein de notre propre communauté. Lorsque les femmes choisissent de faire affaire avec d'autres femmes, nous progressons toutes ensemble. En cette fête du Canada, continuons de bâtir une économie où les opportunités sont créées, partagées et multipliées – ensemble.

Car ensemble, nous grandissons.

5 autochtones + 5 allochtones = pourquoi ce duo est si puissant?

🚀 Au Bootcamp Alliées au féminin, certaines collaborations ont commencé par une évidence : des réalités différentes peuvent révéler des forces complémentaires.
Textile, écoresponsabilité, territoire, services, stratégie, développement durable… chaque rencontre a ouvert une nouvelle façon d’imaginer ce qui pourrait être créé ensemble.
🤝 C’est aussi le rôle de maïa : favoriser des connexions utiles, humaines et porteuses entre entrepreneures.
