London-based accelerator FemTech Lab launches new innovation space for the FemTech community

Global independent FemTech accelerator, FemTech Lab, today announces the launch of FemTech Hub, the first physical innovation hub dedicated specifically to women’s health.

In partnership with XCHG Spaces, the hub will unite entrepreneurs, investors, corporates, healthcare providers, insurers, and academics to help drive the women’s health agenda forwards. Located in central London in the iconic 22 Bishopsgate building, FemTech Hub will offer its community the opportunity to learn, connect and create new projects which accelerate the growth of the FemTech sector and improve women’s lives.

The hub will focus on enabling innovation and driving meaningful change in women’s health and wellness by supporting cutting-edge startups and connecting founders, investors, and industry leaders.

“Unsolved women’s health and wellness challenges are holding back our societal and economic progress. We’re on a mission to change that – and to improve the lives of a billion women worldwide. In today’s digital-first world, we’re committed to establishing and nurturing a physical space and community – which will act as a global hub for FemTech innovation and transformation here in London. With the FemTech market expected to reach $60B by 2027, and as discussions around once-taboo issues such as women’s health at work, endometriosis or postpartum depression come to the forefront, our community will act as a catalyst to drive change and progress,” said Katia Lang and Karina Vazirova, FemTech Lab’s co-founders.

FemTech Hub members will gain exclusive access to London’s FemTech community. Members will also have access to the XCHG online community, a physical co-working space, health, and wellbeing amenities, meeting rooms, and preferred XCHG membership rates – offering many opportunities to connect and bring innovative ideas to life.

The hub will host regular educational webinars, roundtables, and events, starting with the launch of FemTech Lab’s fourth startup cohort on 8th September as they undergo the accelerator’s Autumn/Winter program. The new cohort will include twelve startups in mental health, fertility, sextech, and contraception, who will get access to a first-class go-to-market program supported by the product, market, finance, and growth experts.
