FemTech Observatory Italy: giving visibility to innovation in women’s health
Tech4Fem has created the first permanent FemTech Observatory in Italy, with the aim of mapping and measuring women’s health start-ups and companies.
To date, our country has lacked a dedicated FemTech mapping: many companies, often founded by women and self-financed, remain invisible to official reports and global data.
The FemTech Observatory survey is the first step in building a national map: a tool that makes innovative initiatives visible, supports their growth and brings Italy to the centre of the international debate on digital and female health.
