The Banff Spark Accelerator for Women in the Business of Media (Banff Spark), launched by the Banff World Media Festival, has announced its second cohort of women participating in the organization’s entrepreneurial program.

For its second cohort, Banff Spark is also announced that entertainment network Super Channel is joining as a founding industry partner.

“The participants taking part in this program are leading some of the most exciting media companies in the country,” said Jenn Kuzmyk, executive director of the Banff World Media Festival.

Launched in September, the accelerator is designed specifically for women of colour, Indigenous women, women with disabilities, LGBTQ2+ women, and non-binary individuals.

The first two cohorts, representing a total of 100 women entrepreneurs, will meet up at the 2021 Banff World Media Festival. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1592054202.9000838/Banff-Spark-accelerator-looks-to-foster-women-entrepreneurship-in-media-with-second-cohort?ref=audio_experience
