TUNDRA – Empowering women-led climate tech companies in the Arctic region
TUNDRA is an innovative initiative aimed at empowering women-led growth-stage climate-tech companies through tailored access to experts, funding, and partnerships, particularly those in the Arctic region.
Women-led Climate tech ventures in the Arctic region face unique scalability challenges as a result of limited access to role models, networks and funding. While early-stage ventures receive support through different initiatives, there is a gap in assistance for later-stage companies.
Through events that provide opportunities for networking and access to expertise, the program will offer a support system for women-led climate tech ventures in the Arctic region.
The project aims to support participating companies to grow their business by expanding their market reach, and finding funding opportunities. Additionally, the program aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced by women founders and strengthen the role of women leaders in the ecosystem. The tangible outcome of the project will be a comprehensive report providing data about gender equality in entrepreneurship in the Arctic region, with a specific focus on climate tech.
