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.
