Women’s health has long been trapped in a vicious cycle: <strong>chronic underfunding leads to insufficient data</strong>, which in turn stifles innovation and perpetuates a lack of investment. <a href="https://alleyoop.ilsole24ore.com/2026/03/31/femtech/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Femtech-technology</a> designed to address women's health needs-emerges as a powerful opportunity to break this cycle.

The concept of femtech traditionally focuses more narrowly on <strong>reproductive health and menstruation</strong>. A more expansive definition encompasses gender-informed innovations across a vast spectrum of care, such as oncology, mental health, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease.

July 19th, 2026—a beautiful, sunny weekend in New York. Together with tens of thousands of fans wearing the jerseys of Spain and Argentina—many with the number 10, Messi, on their backs—I took the New Jersey Transit train to the <a href="https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026">World Cup Final</a> . Along the way, there was coordinated singing and cheering among the fans—a relatively rare sight in this part of the world.

As the New York New Jersey Stadium emerged from the train window, the singing intensified. Three hours before kickoff, the area outside the stadium was already packed with fan activities, sponsored by corporations. Instead of joining them, I went...]]>

The 38th edition of the America's Cup introduced an historic innovation: at least one woman will be onboard each of the team’s AC75 yachts, as integral parts of the crew. We discuss the increasing presence and performances of women in sailing with Hannah Mills OBE, Britain’s most decorated female sailing athlete and Athena Pathway Helm and Team Principal. Born in Wales in 1988, she has won two Olympic gold medals in sailing (women's 470 class), making her the most successful female sailor in Olympic history.

"FemTech" refers to an emerging category of technologies designed to support women's health. The term was coined in 2016 by entrepreneur Ida Tin, founder of the menstrual tracking app Clue. Over the past decade, <a href="https://www.unicef.org/innovation/femtech%20ventures">FemTech</a> has gained increasing attention among healthcare practitioners, researchers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and everyday users. Today, it represents a dynamic frontier of innovation, encompassing wearable devices, medical diagnostics, reproductive health technologies, digital health platforms, and, increasingly, tools enabled by artificial intelligence (AI).

With Halloween around the corner, one creature stands out as this year's most prominent monster: Labubu.

The fang-bearing, fuzzy-bodied elf with a slightly-sinister grin and mischievous demeanor from the realm of designer toys, has become one of contemporary culture's most recognizable symbols. This little monster has captivated different audiences around the globe, from everyday consumers, to art collectors, to style icons and celebrities. Madonna, Rihanna, K-pop star Lisa, David Beckham, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and many others, all displaying their Labubus as a fashion accessory on social media.

The life and career of Giorgio Armani have shaped both fashion and the world at large. Following the news of his passing, thousands lined the streets of Milan to bid farewell to the late fashion icon.

In a <a href="https://apnews.com/photo-gallery/italy-giorgio-armani-public-viewing-b9c925b5cb02c570d236ec0fbce508ee">photograph</a> from the Associated Press, a man waiting to pay his respects held a bouquet of flowers and a note to the family of “Signor Giorgio Armani,” written in two languages: Italian and Mandarin.

This multilingual note is a small but powerful testament to Giorgio Armani's global impact. From runways in Milan to offices in Manhattan,...]]>

A plump blue whale, the logo of DeepSeek, emerged under the world's watch on January 20, 2025, and made waves.

The generative AI chatbot launched by the China-based AI company DeepSeek delivered performance comparable to established AI tools, such as ChatGPT, in a number of important tasks, at a training cost of a small fraction of the latter, using older processors instead of the latest models developed by NVidia.

The impact of DeepSeek was immediately visible. Within a week, DeepSeek surpassed ChatGPT as the most-downloaded free app on the iOS App Store in the United States. By early February, the app became the...]]>

Will 2025 be the year of safety for women in politics or campaigning for a leadership role? As much as we can highlight progress, the reality is not comforting. Threats to these women are in the physical world and fueled online: because of the extensive pervasiveness of social media and accessibility to online content, menaces are far-reaching. They account for thousands of threats, easily very graphic, that are sent per person daily - as private emails and posted on open platforms.

One very recent estimate on the extent of violence and harassment toward women in politics comes from Nepal. Published in mid-December, a...]]>

6.5 million permanent migrants moved to an Oecd country in 2023, according to the organisation's latest report. Flows that open challenges and opportunities for the 38 high-income member countries. The contribution of those who moved to a nation that is not theirs opens Pandora's vase in terms of refuge, acceptance, housing costs and services. But represents also one possible answer to current problems. From the talent shortage and the gaps in the labour market to the ageing populations and, in many cases, low birthrates, those flows are hardly only a threat to the sustainability of a nation's economy.
