At the Center for Women & Enterprise (CWE), we understand that true empowerment for women entrepreneurs stems from a blend of strong local connections and broad regional resources.

Experience the CWE Regional Advantage

CWE Regional serves as a centralized resource for our network, spanning Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. By streamlining specialized resources, we take the operational pressure off our individual Women’s Business Centers (WBCs), allowing them to focus exclusively on what matters most—you.

Meeting Entrepreneurs Where They Are

Our Needs Assessment revealed a clear shift in what New England entrepreneurs need to thrive. Today’s business owners are looking for growth-phase support, convenient virtual access, and on-demand content to fit their busy lives.

We heard you, and we’ve adapted. Because of our regional infrastructure, CWE has successfully expanded our growth programming while maintaining our core commitment to early-stage startups. Whether you are just putting your ideas on paper or ready to scale to a commercial level, CWE has the resources to get you there.

Centralized Resources. Localized Success.

Partnering with your local WBC means leveraging a unique blend of dedicated support and extensive regional resources. This collaboration unlocks a wealth of advantages aimed at fostering your success:

• Learning Organization – We avoid a one-size-fits-all approach by employing a localized and data-informed strategy. This ensures that training and workshops at your specific center align with the unique needs of your community.
• Certification - Are you prepared to elevate your business? Our certification programs are specifically designed for women business owners. They offer access to a vibrant support network, exciting business opportunities, enhanced visibility, and invaluable resources. Through our partnership with the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), you’ll receive tailored procurement education and exclusive corporate connections, perfectly complementing local APEX Accelerators to prepare you for contract readiness.
• Rural Programs - CWE’s partnership with the USDA provides free, industry-specific programming directly to rural New England farmers, agricultural businesses, and ranchers.

The Power of "And"

CWE Regional does not replace your local Women’s Business Center—it amplifies its impact. By blending centralized innovation with strong community commitment, we ensure that every entrepreneur in New England has the tools, network, and access to capital they need to succeed.
