Originally known as ORSEFs, Quebec's FEMMESSORs are economic development organizations dedicated to women's entrepreneurship. These organizations are involved in all phases of business development (startup, acquisition, expansion, and consolidation) and are active in all sectors of the economy and with all age groups. Thanks to the services that FEMMESSOR currently provides in 13 of Québec's 17 regions, women have access to financing, and are able to enhance their management, negotiation, business development, and networking skills.
