To solve the world’s climate challenges, we need more than just good ideas. We need diversity of thought to deliver meaningful impact. This means women and individuals from underrepresented communities, more than ever, need to be part of the solution.
The RBC Women in Cleantech Accelerator is part of the answer. Each year, we will recruit a mix of 10 exceptional women entrepreneurs and coach them through an intensive 12-month program, connecting them to top government laboratories, investors and corporate partners.

But they’re significantly underrepresented in the area of clean technology. It’s time to change that. Building on the success of the inaugural Women in Cleantech Challenge, MaRS is launching and powering the RBC Women in Cleantech Accelerator, a program guided by principles of diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as a commitment to the planet.
