🙋‍♀️ 9 female-led businesses will form part of Canvas Coworking’s unique incubator program.

Nine female-led businesses will form part of Canvas Coworking’s unique incubator program when Flair launches at the end of August. 

Over the past few months, we have seen a number of other incubator and accelerator programs closing. This is such a critical time to be supporting Queensland founders, so we wanted to do all that we could to ensure entrepreneurship is encouraged and support is available for founders with vision, passion and commitment. That is why we have chosen to expand our program from five teams to nine.”

The cohort was chosen from business spanning all across Queensland after a successful Selection Bootcamp where teams presented their business and ideas for obtaining access to international markets.
