Empowering founders who identify as women can unlock the potential for groundbreaking technologies, drive decarbonization efforts, and generate significant economic value. As the world moves toward net-zero emissions, diverse leadership in climate tech will be critical in shaping the future of sustainable innovation.
As part of their mission to advance diversity and equity within the climate tech sector, the B.C. Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE) is investing up to $3 million in climate tech and clean energy ventures led by women.
“Climate change poses a serious threat but also presents a significant economic opportunity. Achieving success requires that everyone has a seat at the table, especially women founders who are currently underrepresented across the cleantech ecosystem,” shared Sarah Goodman, CEO of CICE.
“By ensuring diverse voices and collaborative efforts, we can develop innovative solutions and build the companies of tomorrow. CICE is committed to addressing this imbalance, recognizing that empowering women entrepreneurs is essential for a sustainable future.”
CICE’s Women in Climate Tech Call for Innovation opens on November 5th and runs until December 3rd. Register now for their webinar on November 5th to learn more about this funding opportunity, including the need for this call, eligibility requirements, and ask our team any questions you may have.
