Collaboration for Transformation Project: Second National Survey for Women Entrepreneurs

Le second Collaboration for Transformation Survey, led by the PARO Centre pour l’entreprise des femmes,, is designed to capture how realities have shifted: what’s improving, what still needs attention, and where we can act to make the greatest difference.

Your participation is completely confidential and anonymous, and every response helps us paint a clearer, more honest picture of women-led entrepreneurship in Canada.

In partnership with Sinclair Creative Agency Inc., we’re traveling coast to coast, offering women entrepreneurs FREE TICKETS so they can invest their money where their business needs it most.

No matter your location or stage of business, PARO is here to help you make connections, access funding, and engage with industry leaders to break barriers and lead boldly.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Make one-on-one connections with top-tier brands and curated industry experts
  • Have vibrant conversations with like-minded women
  • Gain game-changing insights from powerhouse guest speakers
  • Share your voice during our very popular Collaboration Innovation Tables (CITs)
  • Enjoy authentic panel discussions
  • Enjoy a gorgeous micro tradeshow
  • Plus, so much more!

The Self-Made Breakfast Tour is more than an event; it’s a movement. 

By hosting CITs and capturing your voice-hearing where you are today, where you dream of going, and what’s holding you back, we can identify the barriers that limit progress and help create meaningful solutions.

Trust us, this is an opportunity you will not want to miss! 

It’s your chance to connect, learn, and be part of a movement that’s making real change.

Collaboration Innovation Tables

The Collaboration for Transformation project is a systems-change effort led by PARO in partnership with non-profits, community leaders and the private sector, supported by Women Advancing Women in Entrepreneurship (WAGE). It uses methods such as surveys, focus groups and interviews (“Collaboration Innovation Tables”) to listen to women entrepreneurs—particularly Indigenous, newcomer and other diverse women—and understand their lived experiences and the structural barriers they face in accessing financing, scaling, and procurement markets. The aim is not simply to offer training, but to transform the underlying systems (for example, policies, institutional practices, and bias in procurement) so that women can fully participate in Canada’s economic life. The project seeks to increase: (1) the understanding of barriers to women’s entrepreneurial participation; (2) women’s access to markets and financing; and (3) the network of partners and allies advocating for gender-equitable business ecosystems.
