A one-day collaborative innovation experience exploring women’s health challenges

Join UK Black Tech for a Women’s Health Design Jam – a one-day, hands-on experience bringing together curious, creative, and mission-driven people to explore real-world challenges in women’s health.

This is open to anyone, and you don’t need a startup idea or prior entrepreneurial experience to participate. The design jam is all about learning, collaborating, and exploring how insight can lead to meaningful solutions.

Across the day, you’ll:

  • Work in small, multidisciplinary teams to explore women’s health inequalities
  • Combine lived experience, research, data, and professional insight to understand root causes
  • Apply inclusive design and early-stage innovation methods
  • Co-create and sense-check early ideas in a supportive, collaborative environment
  • Experience the same approach used in our Women’s Health Venture Builder programme

Who this is for: This design jam is for anyone curious about women’s health, social impact, and collaborative problem-solving. Participants often come from academia, technology, healthcare, public sector, community organisations, or simply bring lived experience or unique perspectives. All are welcome.

Why attend:

  • Gain practical experience in research-led innovation methods
  • Connect with diverse peers and ecosystem partners
  • Reflect on how insight can become impact in women’s health
  • Explore whether you’d like to progress to the full Women’s Health Venture Builder programme (attendance is part of the recruitment process, but there’s no requirement to continue)
