À propos de nous
Bienvenue sur le Portail de connaissances pour les femmes en entrepreneuriat
Qui sommes-nous
Le Portail de connaissances pour les femmes en entrepreneuriat (PCFE) est un réseau national qui veille à ce que les femmes entrepreneures, véritables piliers de la durabilité, de la résilience et de l’économie canadienne, disposent des soutiens nécessaires pour s’épanouir et prospérer. La proportion de femmes entrepreneures augmente, tout comme leur impact. Le PCFE produit des recherches et des éclairages afin d’orienter les politiques, les programmes et les pratiques qui soutiennent efficacement des femmes aux profils diversifiés, à toutes les étapes de développement et dans tous les secteurs. Avec son réseau de 10 portails à travers le pays, le PCFE travaille à repérer les obstacles et à mettre en valeur les facteurs facilitants pour les femmes entrepreneures dans l’ensemble de l’écosystème de l’innovation.
Chaque année, le PCFE publie L’État des lieux de l’entrepreneuriat féminin au Canada, le seul rapport annuel qui synthétise les nouvelles recherches sur l’entrepreneuriat féminin afin d’éclairer les politiques et les pratiques. Il examine les obstacles, les facteurs facilitants et les progrès réalisés, et couvre l’ensemble des secteurs et des régions.
Grâce au soutien du Gouvernement du Canada, le PCFE rapproche les décideuses et décideurs, les fournisseurs de services, les partenaires de l’industrie et les chercheuses et chercheurs afin de renforcer les soutiens fondés sur des données probantes pour les femmes entrepreneures. Le Diversity Institute de la Toronto Metropolitan University, en collaboration avec la Ted Rogers School of Management, dirige une équipe de chercheuses et de chercheurs, d’organismes de soutien aux entreprises et de parties prenantes clés pour créer un environnement plus inclusif et favorable au développement de l’entrepreneuriat féminin au Canada.
Centres régionaux
Le PCFE compte 10 centres régionaux répartis dans tout le Canada pour mieux répondre aux besoins des femmes entrepreneures à l’échelle régionale.

“Everyone benefits when women have the resources they need to participate fully in our economies and societies. Our Government is determined to help women gain the tools they need to be successful entrepreneurs and leaders.”
– Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
“At BDC, we are convinced that tapping into the incredible potential of women entrepreneurs can be a significant driver of economic prosperity for Canada — and we are committed to deploy the efforts and the ambition to reach that goal!”
– Isabelle Hudon, President and CEO, BDC
“It should be a point of pride that more and more Canadian women are starting and running independent businesses. But female entrepreneurs often have additional hurdles to overcome when making the choice to start or grow a company. Starting or growing a business is tough enough – we need to do more to ensure equal access to financing and finding good quality, affordable advice.”
