The Banff World Media Festival (BANFF) is pleased to announce the 2022 participants<\/strong> of the BANFF Spark Accelerator for Women in the Business\u00a0of\u00a0Media<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Supported by the Government of Canada\u2019s Women Entrepreneurship Strategy, BANFF Spark offers training, mentorship, and access to potential strategic partners to women entrepreneurs in\u00a0the screen-based media industry.<\/p>\n

Selected from hundreds of applications, candidates from Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia will participate in a tailored stream of business development programming, receive one-on-one mentorship, and gain exclusive access to top international media industry players at the 2022 Banff World Media Festival<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince its inception, the overarching goal of BANFF Spark has been to support the launch and growth of significantly more Canadian women-owned media companies that excel both here at home and on the global stage,\u201d said Jenn Kuzmyk, Executive Director of the Banff World Media Festival and VP, Publisher of Playback<\/strong>. \u201cWe could not be more proud of what the program has achieved so far. Over the past two years, the women-owned companies which have taken part in BANFF Spark have formed key partnerships, moved projects and business forward in the market, and contributed to the creation of a more fair and equitable media industry. We look forward to building on this success as we welcome 100 new and talented entrepreneurs to the 2022 edition of the program.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSuper Channel continues to be a very proud supporter of this important program that is having a meaningful impact on the careers of so many talented women entrepreneurs in our industry,\u201d said Don McDonald, President and CEO, Super Channel<\/strong>. \u201cWe congratulate and welcome this next group of deserving participants and look forward to seeing how each benefits from the program\u2019s many exciting opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the course of three years, BANFF Spark will support up to 200 entrepreneurs with the goal of advancing gender equality across the media sector. With a strong mandate to champion diversity at its core, the program is especially designed to empower women of colour, Indigenous women, women with disabilities, LGBTQ2S+ women, and non-binary individuals.<\/p>\n
