Medicube Health presented by Dr Rawa Lina Jawad, CEO and Founder

Medicube helps dentists improve their communication with patients, an area where they often struggle, leading to misunderstandings about treatment outcomes and potential legal liabilities.

Dentists can, through Medicube, curate information for their patients to aid their explain of the suggested treatment plan, simply and effectively. Patients can access the information bundle remotely. We track their interactions with our compliance tool helping to centralise consent management.

HedgeHog Financial Wellness presented by Caitlin Hafer (Co-Founder)

Many young people feel lost in a world of chaos. From constant political to financial to social stressors many are adopting disconnection as a coping mechanism. HedgeHog teaches the tools and skills to feel back in control over their own lives and decisions. Our courses support users to gather insights into their own actions. They strengthen the skills to analyse those actions. And our app provides the tools to turn those efforts into informed decisions. We don’t tell young people what to think, we teach them how to think.

TechFoundHer Innovation Labs 1

TechFoundHer Innovation Labs 1 is an exciting new programme designed to accelerate your progress developing a tech product! The goal is to fast track your startup with a focus on your tech solution and innovation.

The programme is aimed at women founders who have, at minimum, a prototype built, but without the tech or product skillset to advance the product roadmap, specification and build.

Funded by the Shared Island initiative, supported by InterTradeIreland, Invest Northern Ireland, and Enterprise Ireland, this all island initiative is open to women entrepreneurs across Ireland and Northern Ireland. The programme includes in-person lab sessions in Belfast and Dublin, along with online events, tools and resources.

Join a cohort of TechFoundHer Trailblazers—a diverse group of women founders pioneering new ideas. You’ll benefit during the programme from peer support circles, exclusive tech webinars, and mentoring sessions with top tech and business leaders who will help you progress your tech product or serice.

The programme takes place from mid October to mid December and during this period participants will dive deep into cutting-edge AI tools, no-code platforms, and product frameworks.

Update on how to apply will be released shortly. Places are limited and by application.
