Interactive world map of femtech & women's health innovation — 339 cited initiatives across 154 countries, deep on Africa & the Global South. Community-sourced, open to contributors. # Global Femtech Map An interactive world map of **femtech and women's health innovation** — the startups, apps, clinics, NGOs, funds and communities building better care for women, everywhere. It began as a response to women's-health maps that leave most of the world blank.

No backend, no database — an art-directed SVG world map with data in editable JSON files. ```bash npm install npm run dev # local dev server npm run build # production build → dist/ (also prerenders reports + SEO files) npm run preview # pre …
