Overview
The BRIDGE Program, administered by Alberta Women Entrepreneurs and backed by the governments of Canada and Alberta, is a pilot program designed to support women entrepreneurs and small business owners who are actively running their business to move from early-stage operations to an established, growth-ready future.
BRIDGE stands for:
- Build a strong foundation for success

- Develop actionable plans that work
- Grow your leadership capacity
- Elevate your business to the next level
The BRIDGE Program delivers tailored business supports, such as training, coaching, strategic advice and personalized business planning to help establish sustainable women-led businesses. This work helps support women’s economic independence and success, as part of Alberta’s 10-year Strategy to End Gender-based Violence.
