Welcome to the world’s first and only impact-driven Industry 5.0 venture studio. Our accelerator that supports women and minorities led industry 5.0, deeptech ventures is a first of its kind.
Our story begins with Dr. Viveka Kalidasan, a visionary who, amid the journey of pregnancy and maternity, saw the world of Industry 4.0 through a different lens. It was during this time that she realized the stark absence of women and representative minorities in this evolving landscape.
With River Venture Studios, she is determined to rewrite the narrative of Industry 5.0, envisioning a future where diversity isn't an afterthought but the cornerstone of progress.
In an era where technology intertwines seamlessly with human existence, Industry 5.0 is the heartbeat of tomorrow's advancements. Yet, amidst this wave of innovation, a critical voice was missing—the voice of diversity. Recognizing this gap, River Venture Studios will emerge as a catalyst for change, an innovation studio with a bold mission: to infuse inclusivity into the very fabric of Industry 5.0.
“Denying half the world access to resources and voices hampers an inclusive, tech-empowered society. In Industry 5.0, recognizing the absence of women in tech and education, the impact of climate change,
and building collaborative ecosystems are vital. It took a collective ‘someone’ to shape our modern world. I’m part of those ‘someones,’ envisioning women and minorities driving Industry 5.0’s future.”
