On April 24-25, 2025, we’ll be hosting the 11th edition of the EU-Startups Summit! This event is set to bring together around 2,500 founders, startup enthusiasts, and investors for two days of learning, connection, and inspiration. Packed with inspiring speakers, thought-provoking panel discussions, engaging networking activities, a thrilling pitch competition, and much more, it’s an event you won’t want to miss.
Today, we are excited to announce the first of our panel discussions: “Transforming Women’s Health – The Evolution of Femtech.” This session will explore the evolving landscape of femtech, focusing on how innovative solutions are addressing women’s health challenges, empowering individuals, and reshaping the healthcare sector. From advancing gynaecological health to revolutionising cycle tracking and fertility insights, femtech is establishing itself as a crucial pillar of healthcare innovation.
To discuss these advancements, we’ve invited three trailblazing leaders at the forefront of this sector. They’ll share their journeys, lessons learned, and visions for the future of femtech:
Dr Helen O’Neill: CEO and Founder of Hertility, a platform transforming women’s health diagnostics. Boasting over 15 years of expertise in genetics, fertility, and women’s health, Dr O’Neill’s work is setting new standards in reproductive health and innovation. She is an Associate Professor at the Institute for Women’s Health, UCL, and has been featured by the BBC, Sky News, and The Guardian. She was also honoured as one of the Top 50 Women in European Tech by the Financial Times.
Ida Tin: Co-founder of Clue, one of the world’s most trusted female health apps. With over 12 million active users in 190+ countries, Clue empowers people to live in tune with their biology.
