Women comprise about 70% of the HealthTech industry work force. Out of the 30 companies listed in the Biomed Index there are only two women CEOs amongst a total of sixty CEOs and Chairmen. The share value of companies that include women on their boards are higher by an average of 44% (Goldman Sachs). FORTUNE 500 companies with a larger number of women in senior management positions have better financial results (Catalyst). It follows that proper representation of women in top managerial levels will serve not only social and gender equality goals, but also organizational, business, and economic goals and performance. In partnership with 8400 we introduce a HealthTech launchpad program to promote junior women managers to executive positions throughout the ecosystem.
