“Women Leaders in Healthcare” - with women's power to success

The MEDICA INNOVATION FORUM will also host a session on women leaders in healthcare on November 12 at 12:15 pm. Women working in the industry are then invited to network with female executives. Dr. Sulzmaier is particularly looking forward to this: “More women are visible in the healthcare sector – and at MEDICA – than in many other industries, and we want to keep moving forward in this regard.” Svenja Lassen, Managing Director for Germany at Gateway Ventures and founder of the Female Investors Network, will moderate a panel discussion on female leaders in the health sector at 1:00 pm. The panelists will be Nina Wöss, co-founder of Female Founders, Hadas Bitran from Microsoft, Tarushi Ranatunga, responsible for knowledge management at Softmatter in Sri Lanka, and Dr. Caroline Fichtner, Principal of the High-Tech Gründerfonds, a public-private venture capital firm supporting start-ups in Germany.

After the panel, several women who have achieved a great deal as founders and inventors will share their solutions and experiences: Dr. Anne Latz, co-founder of Hello Inside, Audrey A. Sherman from Solventum (formerly 3M Healthcare) who holds more than 150 patents, and Dr. Marie Berthuel, co-founder of BeFC – Bioenzymatic Fuel Cells in France.
