正文(英文) | May 10, 2018 Ottawa, Ontario Natural Resources Canada Women are underrepresented in the innovation economy, and the Government of Canada plans to change that. Only five percent of Canadian tech companies have a sole woman founder or CEO, and only 13 percent of companies have a woman co-founder. Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, the Honourable Jim Carr, today unveiled a nationwide challenge for Canada’s aspiring woman cleantech entrepreneurs and innovators to submit their ideas to tackle the world’s most difficult energy and environmental challenges. The Women in Cleantech Challenge offers five women an extraordinary opportunity to develop their idea into a marketable world-class cleantech solution and compete for a $1 million prize. The Challenge focuses on the development of new solutions in areas such as climate change, green growth and applying new technologies to reduce negative environmental impacts. Delivered in collaboration with MaRS Discovery District, the world’s largest urban innovation hub and a leader transforming breakthrough ideas into successful, global companies, the Challenge will help level the playing field for Canadian women in the area of clean technology. Applicants will be assessed by a six-member jury — including an honorary juror — who bring expertise and experience in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), clean technology, business development and environmental awareness. Renowned Canadian novelist and environmental activist Margaret Atwood will serve as the honorary juror. The Women in Cleantech Challenge is the first of five exciting challenges that will be launched in the coming months under Natural Resources Canada’s Cleantech Impact program, part of Impact Canada, a whole-of-government effort to deliver meaningful results for Canadians through measurable economic, environmental and social outcomes. Cleantech Impact will invest $75 million over four years in the five challenges. Visit https://impact.canada.ca/en/challenges/women-in-cleantech-challenge for details, and apply by July 13, 2018.
