Ovogene is a UK-based international egg bank that has quickly established itself as a technologically advanced player in the fertility field. Promoted as the world’s first AI-driven donor egg bank, Ovogene combines a diverse global donor pool with advanced genetic testing and artificial intelligence tools to help intended parents find the most suitable matches. With more than 400 donors, including 73 international donors, Ovogene provides access to one of the most varied donor databases.

Ovogene’s donor base includes international donors, making it particularly attractive for patients seeking specific phenotypes or ethnic diversity. Eggs are shipped worldwide, and the bank positions itself as highly accessible to patients across Europe and beyond. Customer support is provided primarily in English, with coordinators assisting both clinics and intended parents through the donor selection and egg shipment process.
