Last week Tech4Eva had the pleasure to showcase 3 of its start-ups via a panel discussion on “Women’s Health Technology Market Gaining Momentum" moderated by Simone Theiss of EPFL Innovation Park. Thanks to the inspiring stories of Galena Innovations, VivoSensMedical GmbH, and Yeda a lively conversation was generated on the current status. The bottom line is, more funding is needed, so if you are an investor - change the landscape of Femtech and invest in the future of women’s healthcare! The Founders: Ashley Crafton, Sebastian Alexander, and Yair Kira with Anna Maria Ullmann More info on start-ups here: https://www.tech4eva.ch/ Frontiers Health 2024, as a high-level summit-style event, united a community of 800 change-makers - patients, founders, C-suite executives, senior government officers, academic researchers, investors, and healthcare professionals.
