The number of water-related crises around the world run as deep as the ocean, but impact entrepreneurs at the Centre for Social Innovation are finding innovative ways to tackle water issues, locally and globally.

Two of our nominated ventures – Earth Tech 2021 alumni 2S Water and ALT TEX – were successful in the SDTC’s last seed round, and secured a combined $150,000 in grant funding! In addition, two other Earth Tech alumni, ioAirFlow and Geosapiens Inc. were also successful this round.

Agent of Change Devesh Tilokani is providing a platform for leaders that inspire growth and action through his Progressholic podcast.

Agent of Change Nayeon Kim is building an employment social enterprise that would train and hire young people to provide landscaping services for buildings right in their neighbourhood in Regent Park.

At CSI we have seen over and over what incredible things can happen when people come together to make change. One of the ways we are doing that is through one of our newest programs, Women of Ontario Social Enterprise Network, a provincial partnership which is part of the Federal Government’s Women Entrepreneurship Strategy.
