FORUMS
Women Piloting Innovation
Presented by Nightwood and MaRS Centre
How do we build an innovation economy that harnesses the full capacity and creative energy of women? Will a more inclusive framework emerge, or will we see the proliferation of new and innovation businesses as more women rise into leadership positions in the new economy? What is the contribution of women at the forefront of breakthrough discoveries, and building knowledge-based enterprises? In this forum, we hear from trailblazers who have moved technologies and innovation strategies out of the idea stage and into actionable plans delivering timely results. Moderated by Ilse Treurnicht (CEO, MaRS Centre).
Wednesday, October 28, 7:30am–9:15am (includes breakfast)
