Renseignements sur l’événement
During the 20th Francophonie Summit, CanCham Cambodia and the Réseau des Femmes d’affaires du Québec (RFAQ) bring together women entrepreneurs from Quebec and Cambodia for an in-person business matchmaking session over lunch.
The session is the centrepiece of Passerelles d’affaires au féminin Québec–Cambodge, a women’s business bridges programme supported by the Government of Quebec’s Ministère des Relations internationales et de la Francophonie (MRIF). Cambodian women business owners were selected through an open call run by CanCham. Their businesses range from food processing, honey and cashews to silk, natural skincare, herbal products and the arts. They are joined by a Quebec delegation working in sales and business development, AI and digital services, language learning, clean energy, immigration and investment.
Ahead of the Summit, participants took part in online sessions on doing business in Quebec and in Cambodia, and assessed their export readiness with RFAQ’s InnoScan tool.
On the day, participants meet in pre-arranged one-to-one and small-group conversations, matched on what each business needs and can offer. Every participant leaves with concrete next steps.
After the Summit, CanCham and RFAQ will follow up with participants, and an online follow-up meeting in early December will help turn the new connections into business.
