Building the Nordic women’s health ecosystem
Connecting founders, researchers, investors, companies, and decision-makers to accelerate women’s health innovation.
Our work brings together the commitments, knowledge, and networks needed to strengthen women’s health across the Nordics — and turn ambition into coordinated action.
The four pillars
Innovation
We support women’s health innovators by connecting them with peers, mentors, and funding, creating a strong ecosystem where ideas can grow into impactful solutions.
Knowledge
We make information and resources accessible and challenge the status quo, enabling informed choices and advancing proactive
approaches to women’s health.
Advocacy
We engage in political and lobbying efforts to influence policy, shift norms, and ensure women’s needs are integrated into future health systems.
Innovation
We bring stakeholders together in strategic alliances that drive research, development, and
implementation of women-centered healthcare solutions.

Mapping the Nordic Women’s Health Ecosystem
The Nordic Women’s Health Hub is dedicated to connecting the stakeholders across the ecosystem in the Nordics, we have created the most comprehensive overview of women’s health stakeholders across the Nordics from startups and investors to research institutions, competitions, and events.
The map is continuously updated and serves as a strategic tool for collaboration, funding, and innovation.
Right now, we are working on version 2.0, an extensive database mapping of all women’s health initiatives in the Nordics.
Stay tuned for an update.
