We are excited to partner with Okanagan College for a free leadership and growth initiative designed for self-identifying women business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs, with a focus on SETT (Science, Engineering, Technology, and Trades), Food, Wine and Tourism.

The Regional Innovation Exchanges are three online sessions on Feb. 18, Feb. 25, and Mar. 4. There will be three regional innovation exchange groups (North Okanagan, Central Okanagan, South Okanagan) led by women entrepreneurs and supported by Okanagan College staff. These innovation exchanges will provide participants an opportunity to connect with other women in business, as well as explore weekly topics, such as:

• Women for Women Connect: Link women-owned businesses with institutional and corporate procurement opportunities.
• The Women’s Innovation Journey: Highlight the success and resilience of local women leaders across the Okanagan who have thrived using research, innovation, and out-of-the-box solutions.
• Failing Forward: Lessons from Mistakes: Participants share failures, challenges, and lessons learned to explore what could be done differently to improve future ventures.
• Money Matters: Grants and funding for women-led businesses: Explore provincial and federal funding opportunities, WIL funding opportunities, and low-interest loans.
