Innovaxis, a Chicago-based digital marketing consulting agency, is proud to announce that it has received certification as a woman-owned business by the SBA’s WOSB and State of Illinois BEP programs, and has been certified as both a Woman- and Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE and MBE) by the City of Chicago.
These certifications expand our growing list of diversity recognition, which also includes the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).
Opening Doors Through State & Local Certification
The Illinois Commission on Equity and Inclusion’s BPE certification, as well as the City of Chicago’s WBE and MBE certifications, both affirm that Innovaxis is at least 51% woman- and minority-owned and controlled, qualifying the firm to compete for state and municipal contracts that prioritize inclusive procurement practices.
With these certifications, Innovaxis joins a curated list of vendors accessible to state procurement officers, city agencies, universities, and public-sector contractors working to meet supplier diversity goals.
“These certifications open new doors – not just for Innovaxis, but for the organizations we partner with,” said Lina Parnell, CEO and co-founder of Innovaxis. “We’ve always focused on creating marketing strategies that drive meaningful impact, and now we’re excited to bring that expertise to government agencies and contractors committed to working with diverse suppliers.”

These certifications demonstrate the firm’s ongoing commitment to inclusive business practices, providing a competitive edge in both public and private contracting.
