Here's to the pioneering women who are revolutionizing healthcare tech and pharma, forging the path forward. #internationalwomensday #femaleentrepreneurs #healthcaretech #biotech

Who leaves everything to the last minute? That'll be me then 😬 I often feel I'm spinning so many plates that it's only a deadline (and a whole load of cortisol) that focuses the mind.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay and #FemTechFriday! ♀ This International Women’s Day, I’m honored to be in the company of 17 other trailblazing women on Guidea’s FemTech Pioneers t-shirt! This (non-exhaustive) group of women includes scientists 🔬, business executives 💼, healthcare providers 🩺, and policy advocates 📢. We’re united by the common goal of improving women’s health through tech-based solutions and innovation—and we’re succeeding. FemTech is growing at an astronomical rate, with 50% of its 1000+ active companies founded in the last five years. 85% of FemTech companies are female-founded, and women’s health innovation will only continue to grow as the number of women in STEM, entrepreneurship, and finance increases. Why does all of this matter? Because when people hear “women’s health” they think breast health and reproductive health—even though our entire physiology is different than men’s. Because clinical trials in the US weren’t required to include women until 1993, and most cell lines and animal models in medical research are still male. Because even though menstrual disorders impact over half of American women, they receive 0.00004% of NIH funding. In honor of the day, I would love to celebrate the impact #FemTech has had on real women’s lives. Fertility companies, how many babies have you helped make? Menstruation companies, how many periods have you supported? Medical device companies, how many procedures have you performed? Let me know in the comments! And last but not least, you can buy the t-shirt here: https://bit.ly/femtechIWD 😉 All profits go towards Guidea's FemTech sponsorship program, Femovate by Guidea!

❌ Your time is up, Innovate UK You've messed with the wrong women ❌ @InnovateUK has broken its promise to female founders for the final time. We can't and won't stand for this any more. The ‘Women in Innovation Awards’ promised that 50 female-founded and female-led businesses would receive a £75k grant and package of support, from a funding pot of £4 million. 1,452 women applied for the award; but only 25 awards have been granted. Assuming each grant is £75,000, this is a total of £1,875,000. This leaves £2,125,000 unfunded at present 💸 📢 This isn't good enough. We're calling for change 📢 Let's Fund More Women is urging Innovate UK to: 💰 Commit to fully utilising the remaining funding and awarding the 25 grants 🗣️ Engage in dialogue with us to address the issues raised and implement necessary reforms 🔎 Acknowledge the shortcomings and review the process 🚀 Launch a redesigned award program for 2025, with more funding committed Join the Let's Fund More Women movement. Share this post. Write to your MP. Put the pressure on. If you’re one of this year’s unsuccessful applicants, please complete our survey >>> https://lnkd.in/enzyVCJf

You might have noticed that today is International Women's Day. Well, we are thrilled to share that to celebrate the day we will be doing absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Why? Well, our entire organisation is focused on investing in women and girls every day of the year. TECgirls invests in young girl's futures, with a large number of clubs, workshops, and even a massive festival launching later this year. TECwomen invests in free events, training and networking for women across Cornwall. And digitalUPLIFT is invested in growing the digital skills of women who we know can transform companies across Cornwall if given the confidence and the support they need. So for us, today is just like every other day of the year (with just slightly more social media noise). If you have been inspired by the #iwd2024 messages across social media and want to invest more in women and girls, we would love it if you wanted to invest your funding, time, and support in us and the work we are doing. Today and every day we promise to work to make a lasting impact and create long-term system-wide change ⚡ . #TodayAndEveryday #InvestInWomen
