Tech4Eva Roadshow Supporting Women’s Health in the Workplace

Companies that offer comprehensive support for women’s health have higher productivity, better retention of female employees, and help improve health outcomes for women.

Things an employer can do concretely to showcase social responsibility include: providing benefits and solutions to their female employees and re-designing the workplace to support women i.e. breaks to support breastfeeding, preventative health appointments, childcare, and mental health to name a few.

In partnership with SICPA, this roadshow will highlight the 2024 Tech4Eva start-up solutions that improve women's health and introduce them to the ecosystem of SICPA.
