Eudaemon Technologies is a start-up building next generation sexual and reproductive health innovations utilising novel material science, user driven design, and advanced manufacturing. Our first product innovation, ‘Project Geldom’, is bringing Industry 4.0 to the condom industry, a growing $8B business producing 27B condoms annually with the potential to improve SRH for billions of users and alleviate the estimated $60 global burden from ineffective condom use.  Eudaemon is replacing legacy latex with materials like tough hydrogels to create better feeling, safer and more-cost effective condoms to revolutionise safe sex, reduce STIs and promote family planning globally.  With our custom compound-delivery material platform and industrial product development process established, Eudaemon is now primed for expansion into assisting the reproductive health arena. This talk will explore the relationship in development between contraception and reproduction and potential opportunities for work in Australia.
