Funding the Future: Women's Innovation in the Healthcare Industry
We are thrilled to announce a special LinkedIn Live event featuring three visionary thought leaders:
- Mary Stutts, MHA, CEO of the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association
- Dr. Maura Campbell, President & CEO, Ontario Bioscience Innovation Organization (OBIO)
- Julie Castro Abrams, Managing Partner, How Women Invest; CEO, How Women Lead
This discussion will explore the critical importance of funding women’s innovation in the healthcare industry and its far-reaching implications. With only 3% of venture capital funding going to female founders—and even less to women of color—this event aims to highlight the urgent need for change.
Our panelists will delve into:
- The current landscape of funding for women entrepreneurs in healthcare.
- The barriers and challenges faced by women innovators.
- Success stories and the transformative potential of women-led healthcare startups.
- How we can collectively drive the future of healthcare forward.
This event also serves as a prelude to the HBA’s 1st Pitch Competition for Women Innovators, set to take place during the HBA Annual Conference in Toronto in September. The competition was designed to spotlight and support women-led, health-focused startups, providing them with the capital, resources, and support necessary to thrive.
Join us live on 22 August to be part of this important conversation. Let’s champion innovation, break down barriers, and pave the way for a more equitable and innovative future in healthcare!
