The Global Women’s Health Innovation China Programme 2026 took place in Shanghai on 22–25 June 2026, at Qiantan Centre. It was convened by FemTech Across Borders and hosted by FemTech Weekend. This report is the record of those four days: who was in the room, what each day covered, and what participants said afterwards.

“The conference was the visible layer. The real product was access — curated, trusted, and built on relationships that take years to earn.”

Zhu Yihan, Founder, FemTech Weekend
