Access Is the Innovation: Funding, Network, Opportunity for Women Founders

For women & non-binary founders, our opportunities are endless. But it will take innovation to make those opportunities accessible to all.
About this Event

The Event will take place in Gróska - Fenjamýri, on 28th April, from 09:00-10:00. For women and non-binary founders, our opportunities are endless. But it will take innovation to make those opportunities accessible to all. That means innovation in funding, networks, and defining what exactly is "opportunity" must shift, and is shifting!

This exceptional panel hosted by the Embassy of Canada, EntrepreNorth and WomenTechIceland will frame the experiences of Arctic region women and non-binary founders and the ecosystem partnerships created to support them.

The takeaways will show intersectional, inter-industry partnerships available now, and what innovation still must be created to foster real opportunities.

Introduced by the Embassy of Canada, the visiting delegation speakers include:

Xina Cowan, Co-Director, EntrepreNorth

Chef Stephanie Baryluk, Nihkhah

Joella Hogan, The Yukon Soaps Company

Ingunn Eiriksdottir, Investor, Platform & Sustainability Manager, Crowberry Capital
