Over the last two years, we organized and hosted three major global conferences: FemTech Forum, Health Tech 2.0, and Investing & Fundraising in HealthTech and FemTech.

This year, we decided to do something different.

Why FemTech Untapped?

In 2022, we are committed to opening the conversation around the topics in FemTech that are still taboo, areas that are untapped, underresearched, and underfunded.

Over the past few years, the term FemTech has become a buzzword, and women’s health, today more than ever, has been getting the recognition and visibility it deserves. But, this is still not enough for the healthcare industry to be more inclusive, and more innovation, disruption, and funding are still needed in some other areas such as cardiovascular health or mental health. Female health is not just reproductive health, and unless we start treating it as such, especially if we don’t see it as a part of a larger public health discussion, things won’t move at the right speed in the right direction for many more years.

That’s why this year we are bringing you a series of events, educational panels, blogs, and interviews with industry leaders, founders, clinicians, organizations, and investors every month throughout the year, with the focus on some of the most important topics in the femtech space, featuring some of the most innovative companies in this industry.

Join us every month for a series of events and educational content where we will cover topics from diversity and inclusion in the femtech space, to innovations in menstrual, mental, gut, and cardiovascular health, to male contraception and baby tech, and everything in between.

This program will be delivered in partnership with our program partners FemTec Health and Goodwin, as well as our webinar partners ByHeart, Biote, Lovehoney Group, Elix Healing, FERTI·LILY, Prosoma, CVS Health, Joylux, Amulet, and many more.

Together, we can all work towards femtech innovation and support being more accessible and inclusive!

Our November event - Innovations in Gut and Metabolic Health

Our gut health is associated with a vast range of conditions, from obesity and degenerative brain diseases to depression, inflammatory bowel disease and chronic inflammation. We’ve seen a rise in probiotic and wellness companies coming up with products and solutions that can improve not only our gut health, but overall health as well. So, what are the latest innovations happening in gut and metabolic health?

Join us for another FemTech Untapped webinar to hear from the founders and companies who are bringing them to the market.
