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. "Femtech" is a new market that breaks these taboos and offers options for these frustrations, but much of it has not yet reached Japan. Since its establishment in 2019, fermata has been working under the vision of "until your taboos turn into excitement," developing various businesses that contribute to the creation of the Femtech market in Asia and Japan. With a network of Femtech companies worldwide, partnerships with 9 major international Femtech hubs, and the expertise of our diverse international fermata team, we have grown to the point where we are recognized as "fermata when it comes to Femtech in Asia."
