Top 7 UK femtech companies in 2026

For decades, women's health was overlooked. Products, services and healthcare systems were rarely designed around female biology, leaving huge gaps in diagnosis, treatment and everyday care. Today, a new generation of UK femtech companies is changing that.

From smart menstrual cups and digital fertility platforms to AI-powered personal safety technology, the UK has become one of the world's leading hubs for femtech innovation. These companies aren't just building new products - they're tackling health challenges that have gone ignored for too long.

‍

What is femtech?

Femtech, short for female technology, describes products and digital health solutions designed to improve women's health. The sector spans fertility, pregnancy, menstrual health, menopause, pelvic health, sexual wellbeing and personal safety, with technology helping women better understand, monitor and manage their health.

Here's our roundup of 7 UK femtech companies helping shape the future of women's health, wellbeing and safety.
