🏥 In this mini episode from GIANT, I was able to speak with Karina and Katja from Femtech Labs which is a leading women's health and wellness accelerator. They focus on supporting early-stage companies and innovators in the field of women's health by helping them establish themselves in the industry, while also fostering connections within the women's health ecosystem.

💉The discussion highlights the challenges and opportunities in women's health, particularly the historical exclusion of women from clinical trials until 1993. Funding emerges as a significant obstacle for Femtech startups, alongside the need for access to resources like NHS, clinical trials, and data.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦The conversation also delves into changing mindsets regarding women's health, both in the workplace and society at large. There's an emphasis on empowering women to recognise the importance of their health and advocating for workplace policies that accommodate women's needs, such as flexible working arrangements and support for women experiencing hormonal imbalances or going through IVF.
