Join us for the exciting night of pitches at the Rise & Scale: Bermuda Business Accelerator Pitch Forum. This event showcases 21 innovative Founders who have completed an intensive 5-week program, honing their business ideas and preparing to make their mark on the national and global stage. Get ready to witness a series of compelling pitches that represent the future of Bermuda's entrepreneurial landscape.
The Rise & Scale program, a collaborative effort under the "Building Back Equal" initiative, aims to accelerate gender equality and women's empowerment in Bermuda. This groundbreaking partnership brings together the Government of Bermuda's Ministry of Youth, Social Development and Seniors, the Bermuda Economic Development Corporation (BEDC), the United Nations Development Programme Jamaica Multi-Country Office (UNDP), UN Women, and the Founder Institute. Together, we've created a platform that empowers women, youth, and persons living with disabilities to build thriving businesses.
This Pitch Forum represents more than just the launch of new companies; it's a catalyst for Bermuda's economic growth and diversity. By fostering local talent and innovation, the program aims to strengthen Bermuda's position as a strategic business hub, leveraging its unique location, strong international partnerships, and skilled workforce.
