Mind the Gap: Why FemTech Needs More Investment Now
FemTech is one of the fastest-growing sectors in healthcare, with the global market projected to reach $60 billion by 2027.

These low investment levels underline a significant market gap, revealing great opportunities for innovation and growth. This session will bring together FemTech founders, investors, and industry leaders to uncover the untapped potential in this space, highlight the economic and societal benefits of investing in women’s health, and explore how FemTech can drive both business success and global impact.
