RISE and Resilience in Windsor Essex

By: Pelee Island Winery

RISE is a network of organizations that are empowering women in entrepreneurship and women in STEM in Windsor-Essex County, Ontario Canada. Founded by the WindsorEssex Economic Development Corporation, through partnerships with the WindsorEssex Small Business Centre, the University of Windsor’s EPICentre, Workforce WindsorEssex, WEtech Alliance, Build-A-Dream and Windsor Essex Capital Angel Network (WECAN).

What’s STEM?

STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

The purpose of RISE is to create a suite of services available to women in the Windsor-Essex region. Amalgamating and supporting resources with the goal of increasing the number of women in these fields. Look for the RISE emblem throughout the region. Know that organizations that use it in their marketing have taken part in our Diversity and Inclusion training. They have also committed to helping empower women entrepreneurs and women working in STEM in Windsor Essex.
