Women's Health Capital Spotlight
In collaboration with Bayer, Day 2 of the programme features a dedicated Capital & Pitch Day — a closed-door session where selected companies present to a curated audience of global investors, corporate venture arms, and strategic partners.
This is not a stage pitch. It is a structured, high-signal opportunity designed to create real conversations between founders and funders — with follow-on support built into the programme.
Why Apply
- Pitch in a private, curated setting with global investors and strategic corporate stakeholders.
- Gain visibility with Bayer and other senior decision-makers actively shaping women's health innovation.
- Access follow-on introductions and strategic conversations designed to extend beyond the event itself.
- Join a highly selective group of companies chosen from an international applicant pool.
