The UNFPA 2025 Equalizer Challenge: Scaling Women’s Health Innovations

An innovation challenge organized by UNFPA (in collaboration with MIT Solve, IE University and Women of Wearables) to provide catalytic, equity-free funding and support for scalable solutions in women’s health. It invites women-led social enterprises and other organizations to submit health innovations that expand access to women’s health solutions, with funding and ongoing support for winners.

Global exposure, mentorship, access to health innovation networks, and post-challenge engagement and opportunities.

Women-led social enterprises registered and operating in UNFPA programme countries with a scalable health innovation addressing women’s health needs; organizations such as startups, social enterprises, non-profits and hybrid models committed to expanding access to women's health solutions with clear business models and pathways to scale.

Submit submissions during the call for submissions period via the official UNFPA Equalizer Challenge webpage.
