Maïa has been a true catalyst for Next Chance's growth.

Gabriel Huppé, founder of Next Chance

This experience allowed me to present my company to large organisations and build a strong business relationship with Deloitte, among others. I was also able to network with other entrepreneurs and receive valuable advice on selling to different levels of government.

Sylienne Cardichon, CEO of SELEST Security

Thanks to the platform's support, I was able to access qualified buyers, better understand tendering processes and benefit from an intuitive and scalable interface. The practical and strategic training offered enabled me to take my business to the next level.

Is it really free?

Yes. 100% free for WEOC members. No hidden fees, no credit card required, no subscriptions. Your WEOC membership gives you full access to Maïa.

How much time will this take?

Creating your profile takes about 10 minutes. After that, you engage at your own pace—weekly, monthly, or whenever opportunities match your needs. You control your level of involvement.

What kind of opportunities will I find?

RFPs, corporate procurement contracts, partnership calls with other women entrepreneurs, meet-the-buyer events, collaboration opportunities, and access to training and resources tailored to help you win contracts.

I'm busy running my business. How does Maïa help me save time?

Maïa's intelligent matching technology connects you to relevant opportunities based on your profile and business focus, so you don't waste time searching. You'll receive notifications when opportunities match your expertise.

Is this just another networking group?

Maïa is more than networking—it's market access. While you will build meaningful connections with peers, the platform is designed to help you access real contracts, procurement opportunities, and strategic partnerships that drive revenue growth.
