Sigma Technology partners with Daya Ventures to close gender health gap

Sigma Technology is partnering with Daya Ventures, a femtech venture studio, to close the US$1trn gender health gap. 

Despite women making up half of the world’s population, they spend 25 per cent more of their lives in debilitating health than men. This disparity is due to a lack of clinical studies and insufficient investment in women’s health.

Daya is the world’s first femtech venture studio that creates the next generation of fast-growing startups to reduce the US$1trn health gap between genders. By collaborating with researchers, clinicians, and industry leaders, Daya identifies and validates real needs and builds startups from the ground up.

Nataly Lamkén, chief communications officer at Sigma Technology Group, said: “We are impressed by the tremendous work the Daya team has achieved in such a short time, growing into an international femtech venture studio. At Sigma, we firmly believe that entrepreneurship is the catalyst for innovation and development. By joining forces with Daya, we hope to make an impact on women’s health.”

“We are thrilled to have Sigma Technology backing Daya’s mission of closing the gender health gap, reinforcing our belief that it’s the tech industry accelerating the femtech movement and pushing boundaries on what’s possible in women’s health innovation by redefining technology together and making it more inclusive and responsible,” said Jenny Lundkvist, chief people officer at Daya Ventures.

Together with sister companies within Sigma Group, Sigma Technology drives Femmegineering, organisation’s global initiative dedicated to building a community of female tech professionals and contributing to a more equitable and inclusive tech industry. This partnership with Daya is a natural step in organisation’s commitment to a more equal tech industry.
