MaRS, RBC launch women-focused cleantech accelerator
Innovation hub MaRS and Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) have launched a new accelerator aimed to connect and support women-led clean technology ventures.
The 12-month program, which is called the RBC Women in Cleantech Accelerator, will provide 10 women entrepreneurs with advisory support, access to investor and mentor networks, and the opportunity to participate in events held by MaRS and its ecosystem partners.
“Although the number of women in cleantech is increasing, we have a long way to go.”
RBC is supporting the initiative through its RBC Tech for Nature initiative, a multi-year commitment to preserving the world’s natural ecosystems. Applications are open for the program until June 11 and the first cohort of the accelerator will be announced in September.
