Women's Entrepreneurship Program
The Entrepreneurship Program at Women’s Business Hub is designed to serve as an incubator for immigrant women entrepreneurs, providing opportunities to learn, connect, innovate and network in order to launch or expand their businesses in a safe, supportive environment and prepare them to be part of the larger business community.
The History of the Program
