XX innovation is an independent, non-profit organisation redesigning the systems that shape women’s health outcomes.
We are science-led and solution-oriented, focused on delivering measurable impact across research, policy, funding and care.
Why “XX”?
“XX” is more than just a nod to biology. It stands for the spirit of exploration – embracing the unknown, daring to experiment, and welcoming bold collaboration at the intersections of science, society, and technology. Like the mathematical “X” for the unknown, we are here to uncover what’s hidden and spark meaningful disruption.
Our Vision
A world where women’s health is no longer side-lined, but centred in innovation, investment, and impact.
Our Founder
Chrysi Sergaki, PhD
Chrysi founded XX innovation to turn evidence into outcomes for women’s health. She brings years of real‑world experience across policy, regulation, thought leadership, research, innovation and investment decision‑making, applied to solving complex, systemic problems. Chrysi’s work has consistently focused on translation at scale: aligning incentives across diverse stakeholders, setting credible guardrails, and turning roadmaps into delivery. Prior to XX innovation, she led multi‑year, global initiatives that overcame translation barriers in challenging fields such as microbiome research, building partnerships across ecosystems to achieve measurable impact. With the United Kingdom as our hub, her goal is to bring that experience to Women’s Health through XX innovation, making it the go‑to organisation for catalysing action.
Behind this initiative stands a committed team who make the work possible.
Our ethos
XX innovation was founded on the conviction that progress in women’s health requires more than good science. It demands systemic change.
Women’s health must be defined by data, not bias
Centring women’s biology and realities, not retrofitting
Sustainable progress requires coordination across sectors
Named owners, clear milestones, measurable outcomes
