The BioMelbourne Network Women in Leadership Awards were launched in 2015 to recognise and champion women, at different stages of their careers, who have made outstanding contributions in the healthtech sector, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical technology, digital health, academia and research, hospitals and healthcare, R&D services and industry support services; and inspire more women to pursue leadership roles.
The Awards recognise women who work in or support the healthtech industry, including but not limited to: non-executive directors, executive directors, CXOs, managers, project leads, entrepreneurs, R&D scientists, clinicians, consultants and industry service providers.
