workshop for women entrepreneurs

Women entrepreneurs are ambitious and talented, and yet, their companies tend to be smaller and grow slower than those of their male counterparts. 

This can be a real barrier to success in today’s competitive environment. That’s why it’s so important to invest in business and cultivate its growth. The Women Entrepreneurs Committee of ICCC in partnership with BDC recently organised an exclusive event to learn how Women Entrepreneurs can better promote their business.

Renu Narang, Manager, Entrepreneurship Centre, BDC, was the main speaker at the event. She has over 15 years of diversified experience in banking, business development and real estate. As the manager of the BDC Scarborough Entrepreneurship Centre, Renu manages a team of dedicated individuals support local growing entrepreneurs by providing financing and advisory solutions. Renu and her team provided different solutions for new projects. She is also involved in the community with active participation in school board, and the ICCC.
