Women's Health Innovation: From Research Gaps to Breakthroughs
📍 1 Triton Square, London NW1 3BF
Join us at Venture Café and connect with pioneering scientists, founders, and innovators who are transforming women's health despite decades of underfunding and limited research. Learn how bold entrepreneurs are developing life-changing solutions, meet the researchers filling critical knowledge gaps, and discover how real-world data is reshaping evidence standards in an underserved field.
Women's health has been systematically under-researched, leaving innovators to navigate a landscape with significant knowledge gaps. Yet passionate founders are creating breakthrough solutions for menstruation, bladder health, contraception, pelvic pain, menopause, and postnatal care. From precision contraception and continuous hormone monitoring to microbiome research and postnatal devices, these innovators are demonstrating how we can balance rigorous safety standards with the bold innovation women's health deserves. This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with change-makers and to join the conversation about building a more equitable future for women's health.
