Health Innovation Exchange - HIEx

Happy #WiNSday! Every Wednesday is a Women's Day this spring.

If you are an innovator, I can't think of a better place than #Geneva to fast track your business! Check out the new #innovation strategy 2025-27 that Geneva canton launched recently that highlights the priorities with a clear commitment to investing in building the innovation ecosystem to help innovators thrive. Having participated in consultations towards development of the strategy, really thrilled to see the emphasis on #health innovation as a priority focus. Geneva is home to @WHO and some of the largest funders of global health including The Global Fund, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, Unitaid, Stop TB Partnership. Geneva is also home to some of the largest impact investors. I am convinced that Geneva could be home to health unicorns that can contribute significantly to the local economy and to accelerating global health. At Health Innovation Exchange - HIEx we have benefitted from the support of the Canton and have made a commitment to building a health unicorn in Geneva by 2030. You can learn more about how HIEx plans to support entrepreneurs from around the world at our sessions on 20 May on the margins of the World Health Assembly at the Hotel Intercontinental. https://lnkd.in/ezucK5J2 https://lnkd.in/ezucK5J2 Andrew Nerlinger Lisa McDonald Biju Jacob Paula Navajas Ergüín, MBA WiNFUND Health Innovation Exchange - HIEx Denis BROUN Denis Cavin Beatrice Ferrari

This Wednesday is #WiNsday - follow us to learn more!

Twelve new participants of our support program for Africa’s female health innovators were announced today by the Women in Innovation Fund (WiNFUND), co-founded by the Geneva-based Health Innovation Exchange (HIEx), the British pharma company Reckitt, and the Kofi Annan Foundation. At the online kick-off event, CEO and founder of HIEx Pradeep Kakkattil and Reckitt's Global Head of Social Impact and Innovation Hamzah Sarwar welcomed the new participants. They spotlighted that this dozen of organizations improving access to healthcare will form the second WiNFUND cohort, with the aim to scale impactful and sustainable health innovations driven by women. Four of the twelve innovators are from Nigeria: Clafiya, Doktorconnect, Market Doctor, and Thalia Psychotherapy. Egypt is represented by two, Chefaa and Reme-D.Inc, just like Uganda with Denebola Technologies and Kaaro Health, as well as South Africa with Elle International and Gideon Inno Textiles. The remaining two participants are Zuri Health from Kenya and MedTrack Technologies Limited from Ghana. We will present all the twelve cohort members individually in the coming weeks, so please follow us on social media. Moreover, we will soon launch WiNFUND’s new website, to be available at www.winfund.ch – it will be telling our past and current success stories. Launched in 2022 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York with an initial focus on Africa, WiNFUND welcomed applications from women-led health startups in seven African countries. For the first cohort, we had shortlisted 50 entrepreneurs trying to democratize healthcare access and invested in six of them. As WiNFUND is developing, the second cohort doubled in size (now we have 12 from 30 shortlisted) and we hope to be able to provide even more support to female health innovators in the future. #WiNFUND #WomenInHealth #HealthInnovation #AfricaEntrepreneurs #HealthcareLeadership #HIEx
