A joint program between EPFL Innovation Park and Groupe Mutuel
Join Tech4Eva's Annual Hybrid Conference on Nov. 30th
We accelerate women's health innovations
A global FemTech community and a 9-month equity free FemTech start-up acceleration program for companies developing innovative solutions to improve technologies relating to women’s health with international reach.
Don't miss this event to connect with the ecosystem, get insights about the industry and research trends in Femtech and discuss the growing market opportunity!
Tech4Eva brings together some of the most promising start-ups in women’s health to provide peer support, industry-specific insights and world-class connections to potential customers, partners, and investors. In a few short months, I have built an ecosystem of committed, knowledgeable and accomplished experts in women’s health spanning the globe. I feel completely blessed to have this powerful group of supporters to call upon and ask for support, expertise, and connections. Given the headwinds that still exist in this field, this network is invaluable, and I would encourage anyone entering this industry to invest in that network early to test your ideas and learn from other’s successes and missteps.
Tech4Eva is a game changing start-up program. As a relatively well-developed business in our growth phase, it still added considerable value to our strategic approach, and helped us progress with corporate partnerships. Sharing and discussing the growing pains of a business with peers - whatever their current state of development - is also an invaluable enriching and therapeutic experience!
Fantastic top-organized program, allowing for a very broad view on the FemTech ecosystem and current developments, with world-class coaches, giving brilliant advice! Thanks for the honour to have been selected for this journey!
