We’re happy to announce the joint winners of our Women’s Health Pitch session at the 2025 Innovation for Health event in Rotterdam on April 3rd. Congratulations to Georgina Lara Booth of FEMALID and Violette Defourt of Rapidemic, whose groundbreaking solutions captured the attention of our expert jury and audience alike. Their innovations on female specific urinalysis containers and rapid molecular diagnostics for sexual health complement each other and represent bold steps forward in advancing women’s health — Together they’re taking home a combined prize of €10,000 in IDE innovation services to accelerate their progress. A huge thank you to all the finalists for inspiring us with your vision, passion, and commitment to impact and advance women’s health. #IDEGroup #InnovationForHealth #WomensHealth #MedTech #MedicalDevices
