THE PLATFORM
From an annual initiative to a permanent platform
A community becoming an ecosystem.
Women in Biotech has grown through six years of events, stories and connections.
In 2026, it continues year-round — supporting women across Lithuania’s life-science ecosystem through knowledge, visibility, mentorship and investment links, beyond a single event.
Women’s Health
Science before claims — better evidence, diagnostics and communication.
Leadership
More women experts visible where decisions and public narratives are shaped.
Innovation & Funding
Connecting research, commercialisation, founders and capital.
Community
Mentorship, diaspora connections and the permanent WinB Club.
OUR HISTORY
Built year by year.
Ready for what’s next.
WinB did not appear overnight. Since 2020, every edition has opened a different conversation — and brought more than 100 women and allies together around leadership in life sciences.
The beginning
Four tracks: meet the leaders, make a change, women invest in biotech, grow a startup.
Women empower teams
Leadership moved from individual stories to stronger teams.
Real stories. Real leaders.
The people behind science and innovation took centre stage.
The network expands
A broader life-science community and new connections.
Beyond the Promise
The next chapter launches on a national stage.
