About this event
About Event
Femtech Portugal and Sword are coming together during the SIM Conference week for a curated side event to spotlight one of the fastest-growing, yet overlooked, area in health and technology: women’s health.
While momentum is building globally, the FemTech ecosystem in Portugal remains fragmented and early-stage. This side event brings together founders, healthcare leaders, researchers, and ecosystem builders for an open and interactive conversation on how we can better connect, collaborate, and accelerate progress.
From mapping the current women’s health landscape to hearing directly from those building and scaling in the space, this session is designed to move beyond awareness and into action.
Join us to exchange ideas, challenge perspectives, and help shape what comes next for women’s health in Portugal.

🌿 About the Organizers
FemTech Portugal
FemTech Portugal is a non-profit association dedicated to accelerating women’s health innovation in Portugal. We bring together founders, healthcare professionals, researchers, investors, and advocates to connect, collaborate, and create a meaningful impact in women’s healthcare.
Our mission is to build a strong and inclusive ecosystem that empowers innovation, supports collaboration, and amplifies the voices shaping the future of FemTech in Portugal and beyond.
Sword
Sword is building the future of healthcare through AI Care, a field we pioneered that brings together Artificial Intelligence and Clinical Experts to tackle healthcare’s biggest bottlenecks — access, outcomes, and cost. The result is a world where clinicians are able to focus on what they do best — handling nuance, providing empathy, and delivering the human touch -, while AI focuses on delivering hyper-personalized treatment programs, ensuring scalability, and being available 24/7 so that healthcare meets the needs of the patient, not the other way around.
