Unlocking Capital for Women’s Health Innovation in Africa

​Innovation in women’s health in Africa is gaining visibility, but capital is not flowing at the pace or structure the ecosystem needs.

​Why?

​Is it a pipeline issue?
A risk perception problem?
Or a mismatch between how capital is designed and how innovation actually happens in this space?

​Daya Africa is convening a curated roundtable bringing together funders, founders, and ecosystem actors to explore what is holding capital back and what needs to change to unlock it.

​This session will move beyond high-level conversation to focus on:

• ​Where funding models are not working in practice

• ​What funders need to confidently engage

• ​How ecosystem players can help de-risk the space

• ​What founders actually need and are not currently getting

​Through a mix of grounded perspectives and structured discussion, the goal is to surface practical pathways for funding women’s health innovation in Africa.

​This is a working session. As such, participants should expect to engage, contribute, and think critically.

​Who should attend:

• ​Investors and venture capital actors

• ​Philanthropic funders and grant-makers

• ​Public sector and development finance actors

• ​Femtech founders and operators

• ​Ecosystem builders in health and innovation

​What to expect:

• ​Honest, cross-sector dialogue

• ​Direct insights from founders and funders

• ​Opportunities to connect with aligned actors in the space

​Note: This is a curated session with limited capacity. Confirmed participants will receive full agenda details and login details ahead of the event.
