This initiative, a collaboration between Organon, a leading global healthcare company dedicated to improving women&#8217;s health, and Flat6Labs, MENA&#8217;s premier seed and early-stage venture capital firm, aims to address unmet women&#8217;s healthcare needs across the region. This year\u2019s edition was launched on March 8, in celebration of International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p>The Demo Day saw shortlisted startups from the UAE, Lebanon, Egypt, Poland and Tunisia pitch solutions that exemplify the remarkable innovation and potential impact on women&#8217;s health that the accelerator program aims to foster. Over the course of the program, these start-ups have benefitted from an array of resources provided by the program, including strategic mentorship, entrepreneurship-focused business training, subject matter one-to-one sessions, and a multitude of services from partners.<\/p>\n<p>In the session, the shortlisted start-ups pitched their innovations to an esteemed judging panel comprising Dina el-Shenoufy, Chief Investment Officer at Flat6Labs; Ramy Koussa, Associate Vice President of META at Organon; Dr. Asma Al Mannaei, Executive Director of the Research and Innovation Centre at the Department of Health \u2013 Abu Dhabi; and Lyndal Cordaro, Head of Nursing at King&#8217;s College Hospital London &#8211; UAE.<\/p>\n<p>iYoni, an innovative mobile app offering precise AI-based fertility predictions, automated lab test assessments, and advice from fertility experts, took first-place and received a prize of 15,000 USD. In her pitch, Katarzyna Goch, CEO of iYoni, outlined her ambitious plans to expand to the UAE market.<br \/>\nTaking the second-place prize of 10,000 USD was Noor Jaber, CEO of Nawat from Lebanon, a digital platform offering holistic reproductive health education and breaking the taboo around women&#8217;s health issues in the region. In third place and receiving a 5,000 USD prize was Banet from Tunisia, an app that empowers women with reliable health information and provides women with direct access to healthcare professionals for their health and wellness needs.<\/p>\n<p>Among the other innovative projects presented at the event was Yotto from the UAE, a platform optimizing female athletes&#8217; performance through hormonal monitoring, addressing a significant gap in sports science. Another UAE-based startup, Mamahood, introduced a comprehensive support system for women during fertility, pregnancy, and motherhood, offering a 24\/7 live chat with doctors and a supportive community. Me-Now, also from the UAE, aims to guide women through perimenopause and menopause, ensuring they receive the necessary support and understanding during these transitions.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, several other startups showcased their groundbreaking solutions, addressing critical subjects in women\u2019s health in the region.

This program is a testament to our commitment to fostering innovation that directly impacts women\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dina el-Shenoufy, Chief Investment Officer at Flat6Labs, said, &#8220;Supporting founders in the Femtech industry is critical to advancing -not only women\u2019s healthcare- but also driving broader economic growth. Through programs like Women&#8217;s Health Accelerator, we ensure that female founders receive the tools and resources they need to succeed and make a meaningful impact on women\u2019s lives. We are proud of all the startups who participated in this program; they showed us how the next generation of female leaders are focused on addressing the unmet needs in women\u2019s health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Katarzyna Goch, CEO of the winning start-up iYoni, commented, \u201cParticipating in the women\u2019s health accelerator program was an outstanding experience. From the very beginning, we connected with experts who provided invaluable advice that I can implement both now and in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The accelerator program, initiated shortly after Organon\u2019s expansion into the region, represents a pioneering ESG initiative that underscores Organon\u2019s dedication to addressing women\u2019s health needs.
