Unveiling New Business Prospects in Menopause Solutions

In recent years, the conversation surrounding menopause has shifted dramatically. While historically viewed as a female-only issue, awareness has grown regarding the fact that men also experience a form of menopause. This evolving understanding has led to an increased emphasis on the need for support and solutions related to menopause for all genders.

The rise in awareness surrounding menopause, often referred to as the “midlife transition,” presents an array of business opportunities. The seminar titled "Business Opportunities in Menopause Solutions through Open Innovation" will delve into the pressing health issues associated with menopause and explore how technology can provide effective solutions.
