Cross-Border Capital & Partnerships in Women's Health
Bringing together leaders across women's health, innovation, investment, and industry to explore where the sector is going next — and why China matters in that future.
22 - 25 June 2026 · Shanghai, China
FemTech Across Borders (FAB) is a global consortium connecting women's health ecosystems across borders. It is founded on a simple belief: the future of women's health innovation will be shaped not by one market alone, but through deeper exchange between ecosystems, institutions, and operators around the world.
As FAB's China representative, FemTech Weekend is bringing this vision to life in Shanghai through a curated programme designed to foster more meaningful cross-border dialogue.
The programme is organised in strategic partnership with Bayer Women's Healthcare and PwC, and co-convened with the Shanghai Government.
