AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
FemTech is on the rise. In the course of just a few years, FemTech has grown to encompass a range of technology-enabled, consumer-centric products and solutions for women’s health needs. While it’s still early days, our research indicates that the dynamics underlying FemTech are accelerating: public awareness, company formation, and funding are surging. And because FemTech helps to increase female representation among researchers, inventors, investors, and founders, it can create more consumer-centric products and solutions that recognize and target women’s specific healthcare needs. A new article gives you the lay of the land, unpacking findings from research into 750-plus FemTech companies.

Quote of the Day
“What gives me hope is that between human ingenuity and the science and technology that we have access to, we can right some of our wrongs, and we can create better futures. But we can’t approach that with outright fear or a complete utopian ideal. We have to take a pragmatic approach, and if we can do that, then yes, I think we live longer, better, healthier, happier lives, I really do.”
—Amy Webb, CEO of the Future Today Institute, on how synthetic biology will be as common as artificial intelligence in a recent interview from McKinsey's Author Talks series
