Discovery Morning

About the event

Connect. Collaborate. Create new opportunities.

What if your next client, supplier, partner or business opportunity was already in the room?

Maïa Discovery Mornings bring together women entrepreneurs, inclusive buyers and industry leaders for a morning designed to turn meaningful connections into real business opportunities.

Join us in Toronto for an interactive, bilingual experience where you can introduce your business, discover new markets, connect directly with buyers and meet other women entrepreneurs who understand the realities and ambitions of building a business.

Whether you are looking to sell your services, find a supplier, build a partnership or simply expand your network, this morning is about creating the connections that can move your business forward.

Because one connection can open a door and thousands of women doing business together can transform an economy.

Together, we grow stronger.

We’re excited to bring the Maïa Discovery Morning back to Toronto for this edition, in collaboration with the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), to bring women entrepreneurs, inclusive buyers and industry leaders together for a morning of connection and business opportunities.

Space is limited, so be sure to register early!

This event is free to attend. Join the #MaiaMovement and connect with women entrepreneurs, inclusive buyers and industry leaders who are ready to create new opportunities together.
