SHIFT Business Festival is a business and innovation event held in Turku, bringing together companies, decision-makers, investors and networks to discuss growth, leadership and the future of business. The festival combines keynote talks, panel discussions and meaningful encounters in a unique event setting at Turku Science Park.
At SHIFT, Business Turku brings a timely topic to the stage: advancing women’s health. Women make up 51 % of the population, but only about 1 % of healthcare research and innovation focuses on women-specific diseases outside of oncology.
Women’s Health Hub Finland is building a future where women’s health receives the attention it deserves. The network, coordinated by Business Turku, focuses on advancing research and treatment related to women’s health across different stages of life – from prevention and diagnosis to effective treatment.
