Women Entrepreneurs Driving the Future of Healthcare – Cambridge

In the fast-evolving fields of genomics and biotech, women founders are driving breakthroughs that are reshaping healthcare and medicine. From harnessing cutting-edge technologies to addressing complex challenges, these trailblazers are transforming the future of health innovation. But can biotech and precision medicine deliver both profitability and equitable healthcare?

This session celebrates women entrepreneurs who are not only leading the charge in these pivotal industries but are also redefining what it truly means to create impact through science and business. Are traditional models of innovation enough to solve global healthcare challenges, or is it time for a radical rethink? How can entrepreneurs in genomics balance the race for breakthroughs with ethical considerations and long-term impact? Join us for a discussion that delves into these questions, explores the journeys of these trailblazing women, and dives into the cutting-edge advancements – and provocations – they are championing.

Join us for a thought-provoking evening filled with inspiration, learning, and networking within Cambridge’s vibrant entrepreneurial community.
