    EmpowHER Tech Launchpad wraps up successful fall program – City of Mississauga

    The 12-week hybrid program supports women-led tech startups with mentorship, training and investor readiness to drive innovation.

    Earlier this month, IDEA Mississauga hosted a showcase celebrating the conclusion of EmpowHER Tech Launchpad, a 12-week program designed to help women-led tech companies grow their businesses and expand their market reach. The program is in partnership with York University’s YSpace. This is one of several initiatives the IDEA Mississauga hosts and facilitates to support local businesses in accelerating their growth path.

    The event brought together founders, mentors, investors, and community partners to celebrate the entrepreneurs’ successful completion of the fall 2025 session. Over the past three months, participants received expert-led training, one-on-one mentorship, and investment readiness sessions to strengthen their strategies for long-term success.

    The showcase, held at Mississauga City Hall’s C Banquets, featured inspiring pitches from companies developing solutions in B2B SaaS, Blockchain and Fintech, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) in the Food & Beverages sector and sustainability. Founders shared how the program helped them refine growth strategies, attract investors, and expand their workforce.
