Unleashing The Biggest Untapped Potential Of The Century

WHY FEMTECH?

In her book Evalution, Kristel Vanderlinden highlights a powerful market truth: women represent the greatest untapped potential in commercial innovation and product development.

Although women make 85% of all purchase decisions, only 1% of all R&D investments go to women specifically. When it comes to innovation and technology women are underrepresented as a target group.

Time to change that!

This hackathon tackles the R&D gap by bringing together engineers, developers, and creatives to ideate, prototype, and pitch innovations in sectors that deeply impact women's lives and offer business opportunities for the next decade.

What’s not to sponsor?

We’re looking for sponsors, partners and supporters to submit ideas to hack, join our jury and support the event with priority access to our participants and their pitches.

"The Return on Female Investment on women-led innovation is 40% to 70% higher than any other investment"

  • This is more than a hackathon.

    It’s an innovation lab, a talent accelerator, and a powerful brand-building opportunity- all in one.

    By investing, you position your brand at the forefront of smart innovation and womeneconomics — backing a long-overlooked, fiercely loyal, and highly influential audience. You’re not just supporting ideas; you’re shaping the future of inclusive business.

    And yes — you’ll also gain direct access to Belgium’s brightest tech talent and breakthrough concepts before anyone else does.
