In February 2021, Business Woman PRO Canada was founded as a platform dedicated to developing women’s leadership, promoting intercultural dialogue, and uniting active women who are driving change both locally and globally.
Business Woman PRO Canada is a Canadian organization that is part of the broader international community of Business Woman magazine, represented in 33 countries, and the global women’s network Business Woman Club, which brings together leaders in business, politics, culture, and social impact.
Our key areas of focus include building a strong women’s community in Canada, developing international partnerships and representation, and offering media and informational support for women’s initiatives worldwide.
We are proud to have represented Business Woman PRO Canada at international forums at the European Parliament in Brussels and in other European capitals.
We actively collaborate with women’s organizations across the world, including in Ukraine, Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Australia, Slovakia, France, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Italy, Belgium, and the United States.
We also maintain ongoing communication with Canadian business clubs and networks, as well as women leaders from diverse ethnic communities, who share our values of equality, development, and mutual support.
As media partners of a number of international events and initiatives—including conferences, cultural events, business forums, charitable campaigns, and Ukraine-focused platforms—we help amplify women’s voices and share their achievements on the global stage. Through media and social outreach, we consistently highlight the stories of women leaders, support the Ukrainian diaspora, and promote Ukrainian identity in the international context.
Over the past five years, Business Woman PRO Canada has organized more than 500 events, including online sessions, in-person forums, workshops, training programs, charity initiatives, and educational seminars.
We support women who are starting businesses in Canada, advancing in cultural and political spheres, and contributing to society through diplomacy, social impact, and leadership.
In 2026, Business Woman PRO Canada will host the first international Business Woman Forum in Toronto, marking a significant milestone in our journey. The forum will welcome speakers and guests from Canada, Ukraine, Europe, and the United States. Its program includes panel discussions on women in politics, business, and community leadership, as well as an evening gala featuring vendor exhibitions and networking.
This forum will be a platform for meaningful dialogue, knowledge exchange, and the celebration of women’s contributions in leadership and beyond.
Leadership is not a title, but an action. And when women act together, they have the power to change the world.
Business Woman PRO Canada remains committed to ensuring that the voices of Ukrainian women are heard—clearly, confidently, and with dignity—throughout Canada and beyond.
