Ryerson’s startup accelerator and seed fund, Ryerson Futures, is partnering with Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada to help women who lead startups in Canada expand into the Indian market. Through a new exchange program, Ryerson Futures will provide boot camps to female founders and connect them with Ryerson’s empoWer program—a female-focused accelerator in Mumbai—and Zone Startups India, an established accelerator in Mumbai that is a joint venture between Ryerson Futures and the Bombay Stock Exchange. The first round of founders was to be selected in November 2018, with a second round in fall of 2019. The program aims to help 100 companies scale internationally.
