Exploring Femtech in East Africa - Virtual Roundtable
Join us on January 30, 2025, for an engaging virtual roundtable discussion hosted by DAYA Hub East Africa, focusing on the dynamic Femtech sector in East Africa. As Nairobi continues to rise as a prominent tech hub, this event will delve into the unique opportunities and pressing challenges faced in the Femtech industry. With a spotlight on advancing women's health through technology, we aim to foster collaboration among key tech and medical stakeholders.
This two-hour session will address critical issues such as regulatory hurdles, limited funding, and the need for broader adoption of Femtech solutions. We hope to inspire new strategies for sustainable growth and innovation in Nairobi's Femtech landscape by bringing together innovators, investors, and healthcare professionals.
