2025 Women’s Health Innovation Equity Forum

In October 2025, over 150 experts and advocates from across the women’s health ecosystem gathered in Berlin for the second-ever Women’s Health Innovation Equity Forum.

This year’s WHIEF event brought together the IEF community to promote accountability and drive progress in women’s health globally. Over two days, experts and advocates engaged in high-level panels, shared insights, and advanced IEF priorities. The 2025 event was co-sponsored by the Gates Foundation and the German Health Alliance.
