Version of Record

This study aims to address two research questions: "What are the factors that make women entrepreneurs’ overseas business partnership successful?" and "What elements are essential to women entrepreneurs’ success in doing business overseas?" It uses the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada’s “First Canadian Women-Only Business Mission to Japan” in 2019 as a case study. A survey and interviews were conducted with the women entrepreneurs who participated in the mission, and an interview was conducted with the project leader. Results indicated that participation in overseas business missions is the most advantageous way to create new networks and expand business into overseas markets. A process for building business partnerships among women entrepreneurs was proposed based on study findings and the Canadian Women International Network (CanWIN) ecosystem. It was discovered that this business ecosystem has the potential to expand overseas opportunities for women entrepreneurs and promote economic growth.
