Thanks for the question.
We've been really focusing a lot of effort in promoting Canadian clean-tech goods and services around the world. As I mentioned, it was important for us to be able to renew the resources through budget 2021 and continue the support to Canadian companies in regional offices.
To your question, in our missions abroad, Canadian companies connect with our trade commissioners there to learn about the local business environment, the high-potential business partners and what the business risks are, and get some advice on business opportunities and networks. So far, from the resources we have been given and from the tracking of our activities, we found that there has been success we can point to and also that there is continued potential for even more of that success, given the strong capacities of some of our very good companies and their technologies.
Where we want to help even more is to provide an ever better focus area of support to different companies across their needs. I know we have limited time, but one of the areas and programs where we really provide that enhanced focus is through our Canadian technology accelerators. It started out in the U.S., but now we have them in Asia, some in Europe, some across the Americas. We run 12-week programs, and our partners around the virtual table here, in particular BDC, EDC and others, work together with us in preparing companies and then connecting them when they are abroad. Mr. Noseworthy mentioned the waste-water mission that took place earlier to India. That also pointed to a lot of specific opportunities that our Canadian companies have been able to further develop and seize upon to be able to grow their activities in international markets.
For us, it is an important area. It is an area we feel we need to continue to support the industry on. Just to give a sense of what I'm talking about with the Canadian technology accelerators, since 2013 the program has raised capital of over $600 million. Canadian companies have increased revenues by $238 million, and it has created about 2,500 jobs. We very much look forward to continuing that.
What we've seen more recently is very encouraging. We've had 30% growth since 2019 in women's participation in the Canadian technology accelerators. We are very pleased to see that and we are very pound of it, so we'll continue to work in that regard as well.
