Understanding Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Business Incubators
Full text linkThis research seeks to understand how incubators support equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) with the businesses that reach out to them. Qualitative research was used in this study by interviewing 5 participants online via WebEx. All participants work at a business incubator and gave a better understanding of what their own incubator does to support EDI. Participants were able to determine ways they support EDI in their responses such as bursaries offered, workshops, makeup of staff/team and mentorship. Participants were able to identify what their exact role is at their organization and what they personally do to help the businesses that approach their incubators feel supported by using an EDI lens. The incubators and participants interviewed are placed all over Ontario which has given a diverse set of responses on how involved EDI is at the incubator. Participants noted that EDI is an important topic of discussion for their businesses as they come from marginalized backgrounds and have their own personal story on why they want to take steps to ensure EDI for the future of their organization
