Ontario Invests in wHealth Ignite Program to Support Women’s Health Innovation

The Government of Ontario is advancing women’s health and entrepreneurship with the announcement of new investment in wHealth Ignite, an Innovation Factory (IF) program dedicated to women’s health innovation delivered by Femtech Canada. The new funding comes through Ontario Women’s Economic Leadership and Legacy (WELL) Fund, which supports projects that address barriers experienced by women who want to remain and advance in high-growth sectors such as the health-tech industry.

Delivered by Femtech Canada in partnership with Spring and Morrissette Institute for Entrepreneurship at Western University and supported by the Google for Startups Cloud Program, wHealth Ignite is a milestone-driven program that supports high-potential, seed-stage femtech ventures to de-risk their path to market and accelerate their efforts to attract investors.

Congratulations to our friends at Innovation Factory and FemTech Canada!
