Opportunities in Women's Health
Explore the opportunities for women’s health within startups!
Join us for an inspiring gathering of the players in the Danish startup ecosystem to explore the opportunities for women's health. As femtech and women-centric health solutions gain momentum, we aim to spotlight opportunities for startups in this sector.
Women's health, despite its importance, remains an underserved area in healthcare. By focusing on women's specific health needs, we can drive innovative solutions that improve lives, boost economic growth, and positively impact communities. The women's health sector offers vast potential for meaningful innovation.
Our event will feature an in-depth panel discussion on trends in women's health, led by industry experts.
Charlotte Nørgaard Langer, an Investment and Innovation expert in Women’s Health and the Women’s Health Lead at Angella Invest, will kickstart the event before the panel begins. She will give a short introduction to the Women’s Health market from an innovation and investment perspective, covering challenges, opportunities, and key trends to watch out for.
Panelist:
Ulla Sommerfelt: Investor at Femtech Studios and entrepreneur focused on women's health innovations, with a passion for the intersection of behavioural economics, neuroscience, and practical health solutions.
Andrew Stretton: Is an engineer and product developer with over a decade of experience in tech R&D. His expertise spans various fields, including Sensors/IoT, GreenTech, chemistry, and now women's health. He has a PhD in Biotechnology from the University of Cambridge, and worked for three startup companies before co-founding Sylvia Health, a spin-out from the BioMedical Design Programme, developing non-surgical treatments for pelvic organ prolapse.
Ditte Marie Fog Ibsen: Co-founder and CEO of Oasicare, a Medtech company addressing women's health in underserved markets, has developed a solution that supports midwives and health workers in their efforts to protect vulnerable areas and reduce birth ruptures.
