About fermata

While women's lifestyles and ways of working are diversifying, issues related to women's unique life stages still tend to be taboo. In this context, a new industry called "Femtech" has emerged, primarily in Europe and the US, offering solutions to these concerns and anxieties. However, many of these solutions have not yet reached Japan. With the vision "Until your taboos turn into excitement," fermata has been developing diverse businesses contributing to the creation of the Femtech market in Asia and Japan since its establishment in 2019. Leveraging a network of over 900 Femtech companies worldwide, partnerships with 9 major international Femtech hubs, and the expertise of its diverse international team in areas such as public health and community building, fermata has grown to be recognized as "fermata for Femtech in Asia."
