More than 200 investors, founders, scientists, and healthcare leaders gathered at Cure's two-day Power of X Summit, March 24 and 25, 2025, at Cure’s innovation campus headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. The event focused on accelerating investment in women’s health innovation and driving scalable solutions to long-ignored issues in healthcare.

Throughout the Summit, we came away with key takeaways for how we can convert words to action. Here are some of the most important action items for everyone, with customized guides for investors, policymakers, and founders.

Margaret Hamburg, MD took the stage at the Cure Power of X Summit on March 24 to speak about recent government layoffs, public attitudes towards science and more.

Cure, a woman-led healthcare innovation ecosystem headquartered in New York City, in conjunction with the Deerfield Institute, took the pulse of industry leaders’ sentiments on women’s health. The results suggest that increased investment requires broadening the aperture of the investment case to one focused less on “traditional women’s health” to one focused on sex-linked differences in health. This would create an opportunity that both male and female entrepreneurs can seize, yielding health outcomes that ultimately benefit everyone.
