In the Nordics, momentum around women’s health is building. Dansk Erhverv has underscored the urgent need to close gender gaps in healthcare through a focused initiative, while the newly formed Political Alliance for Women’s Health in Denmark is pushing to create a national knowledge center.
The alliance has hosted several events to support and foster dialogue around this critical agenda. You can read more about one of the events here: Women’s health at Christiansborg: Roccamore sparks national dialogue – TechTruster
But who are the other key players in the Nordics – and how do we make sure they’re seen, heard, and connected?
New version of women’s health map
The new map from Nordic Women’s Health Hub offers a comprehensive overview of the players in the field of women’s health.
The map highlights the companies driving innovation and provides a platform to showcase the dynamic developments within the field. It clearly illustrates what is happening in femtech and women’s health and gives visibility to a field that is evolving rapidly and making significant strides.
This visibility is crucial for supporting and promoting the work of companies in the field, helping them secure the recognition and opportunities.
Transparency is important
In a recent LinkedIn post, the Hub emphasized the importance of transparency and highlighted the remarkable growth of women’s health innovation across the Nordic region. Responses to the map’s launch suggest that being featured offers a strategic advantage – unlocking partnerships, growth, and influence opportunities.
Katalin Karolyi from ReproUnion highlighted that the Nordic region has considerable potential to lead in women’s health innovation. Similarly, Uvisa Health commented; “As first-time female founders entering the medical device and hardware industry, our journey can inspire and encourage more women to step into these spaces with confidence and bring their innovative ideas to life.”
By positioning women’s health as an active and innovative field, the map also challenges outdated narratives and reinforces its relevance to strategic discussions and investment decisions.
The Nordic Women’s Health Hub aims for the map to not only reflect the current landscape but also to foster new conversations, encourage collaboration, and drive lasting progress within the sector.
