Hosted by Embrace, Enlaza, and Cycle & Scale (formerly BGA Consulting), the session gathered leading voices from across the ecosystem — investors, founders, clinicians, and policymakers. Around 250 people joined live in Amsterdam, underscoring the urgency and momentum behind women’s health.

Panel speakers
    – Carmen van Vilsteren – Chair, Topsector Life Sciences & Health
    – Valentina Milanova – Founder & CEO, Daye
    – Dr. Derrick (Zhong Wei) Khor – Partner, Medical Consulting Group
    – Kasia Pokrop – Co-Founder, Embrace (Moderator)

Together, they explored how innovation, regulation, and AI can both accelerate and challenge progress — and who ultimately holds the power in shaping healthcare for women.

Highlights from the conversation

• “If only I could make AI tampons.” – Valentina Milanova
• “We fund what kills us, not what makes our lives a living hell.” – Dr. Derrick Khor
• “Women’s health should be the standard, not the exception.” – Carmen van Vilsteren

The discussion highlighted both the urgency and the opportunity: women’s health has the potential to unlock over $1 trillion in annual GDP impact globally (McKinsey & Company).
