The Journey, Challenges, + Successes of Femtech in Southeast Asia with fermata Singapore
Between 2020 and 2021, around eight to ten femtech companies in Singapore alone were established, with more companies opening up in its neighboring counterparts. Femtech in Southeast Asia is extremely new, with 2021 being the year when 'femtech' has come out to give itself a proper introduction.
With every new journey comes successes and challenges, and femtech's debut in Southeast Asia is no different. In this event with fermata, we'll be talking to Francesca Geary-Stingl and Viracha (Pear) Poolvaraluk about the highs, the lows, and everything in between of their journey to bring femtech to SEA.
