Have a promising idea or concept for health innovation but lack the funding to scale it for greater impact? Or, as a leader at a company that supports innovators, have you noticed the stark disparity in funding for women and want to change that? Shockingly, only 3% of venture capital is allocated to female-founded companies. Imagine the transformative health solutions we’re missing out on because of this! Join us for a compelling keynote featuring two dynamic panels. The first panel will feature prominent venture capitalists, while the second will spotlight executives from HBA’s corporate partners who are dedicated to funding innovation. These panels will offer invaluable insights for women innovators eager to connect with the right funding opportunities and for companies committed to identifying and championing women innovators.
