Queen’s University is receiving federal funding from the Women Entrepreneurship Strategy (WES) Ecosystem Fund, which helps to address gaps and build capacity in the entrepreneurship ecosystem for women. The Queen’s project, called WE-CAN (Women Entrepreneurs Can), is led by Queen’s University’s Partnerships and Innovation (QPI) team and includes several internal and external partners, including the City of Kingston, the Kingston Economic Development Corporation, St. Lawrence College, the KEYS Job Centre, L-SPARK, the Dunin-Deshpande Queen's Innovation Centre, and the Queen's Business Law Clinic, that are responsible for designing and delivering new programs and services to support women-identifying entrepreneurs in Kingston and the surrounding region. The mission for WE-CAN is to inspire and empower existing and aspiring women-identifying entrepreneurs by providing them with tools, resources, expert mentors, networks and community building to expand existing businesses and to launch new ventures.
