Tech4Fem

Tech4Fem is the first Italian #FemTech start-ups network. Why do we want to address FemTech in Italy? Women represent 50% of the world's population, yet more than 80% of drug and therapy trials are performed on men. An imbalance that has become unsustainable, which the FemTech (Female Technologies) sector, a market with an estimated value of $100 billion in 2030, aims to remedy (Dealroom). The term FemTech was coined in 2016 by Ida Tin, founder of Clue, a menstrual cycle tracking app that has 10 million monthly active users. FemTech encompasses a wide variety of health and wellness companies and startups dedicated to conditions and diseases that: - are specific to women - affect women differently from men - affect women disproportionately to men Tech4Fem is a community of people interested in women's health and wellness, aiming to inform, popularize, and educate on these issues to close a gap that can no longer be tolerated. With contributions from all. Join our network and help us to make Italy a premier destination for FemTech innovation.
