The future of women's health, built here
Femtech Canada is a national network dedicated to advancing women’s health technology and connecting femtech companies with essential resources. Our work centers on building capacity within Canada’s femtech network to support a thriving cluster, while addressing gaps in women’s health outcomes and advancing gender equity through education and advocacy. We also deliver transformational initiatives that enable femtech companies to grow, creating a future where everyone has access to the precise care they deserve.
What is femtech?
Women make up half the population, yet their health needs have often been underserved, underfunded and under-researched. This is where femtech comes in.
Femtech refers to health innovations—like digital tools, devices, diagnostics, and therapeutics—that are specifically designed to address conditions uniquely and predominantly affecting women, or affecting them differently than men. By closing these long-standing gaps, femtech not only promotes equity in healthcare but also creates significant economic and societal benefits for everyone.
Canada's femtech sector
The Canadian femtech landscape is a dynamic force, advancing health solutions while contributing to both individual well-being and the national economy.
What drives us?
At Femtech Canada, our mission is to foster the creation of informed, cutting-edge, creative businesses that stand to overturn, challenge, and create new solutions in high-priority areas of women’s health.
What do we stand for?
Our values guide how we show up for the communities we serve. We prioritize human-centered, evidence-based innovation to support femtech solutions that actually work. Recognizing that not everyone experiences healthcare the same way, we foster diverse perspectives and respectful engagement. Through collaborative, future-oriented approaches, we’re committed to creating better policy outcomes and expanding research opportunities that increase everyone’s access to innovation.
