Women entrepreneurs in Montreal now have a new space to call their own, thanks to a partnership between The Scotiabank Women Initiative and Clickspace, Canada’s leading e-commerce hub. Plans revealed the city’s first dedicated office space for women entrepreneurs will be in the heart of Ahuntsic-Cartierville’s Chabanel district.
The inspiration behind the initiative
The exclusive space was built to support entrepreneurs at every stage of their business journey. It includes amenities such as bright, airy private offices, meeting rooms, a shared kitchen space, and a rooftop lounge. In addition, there is a podcast and photography studio and a 3PL logistics and fulfillment service. This project aims to give women in business equal access to opportunities to thrive in a safe and supportive environment with their peers and mentors. The members will also benefit from a calendar full of engaging programming and educational workshops, as well as subsidized pricing for all services.
This space marks a second collaboration between Clickspace and The Scotiabank Women Initiative. The initial partnership helped debut the successful Ladies Who Launch event series for women entrepreneurs featuring guest speakers like Canadian women business leaders Daniele Henkel (Henkel Media) and Virginie Roy (Proud Diamond).
