The Vagina Business: Innovative Breakthroughs in Women's Health

Date TBA

In "The Vagina Business: The Innovative Breakthroughs that Could Change Everything in Women's Health," award-winning journalist Marina Gerner PhD shines a light on the innovators challenging the status quo in women's healthcare. Despite making 80% of healthcare decisions, only 4% of medical R&D focuses on women's health issues. Through interviews with 100 entrepreneurs, researchers, and investors across 15 countries, Gerner highlights groundbreaking solutions for periods, childbirth, menopause, and more, while also exposing the hurdles femtech startups face in a male-dominated VC world.
