SMB-meeting Supporting startups to create a significant impact


 
Date: May 20th, 2021
Time: 16:00-17:00 + online networking
Location: Online
 
Nijmegen has a strong position in research with Radboudumc, Radboud University and some large research departments of High Tech (semiconductor) companies. In total almost 10.000 researchers work on future solutions in Nijmegen. But of course, research alone is not enough to create a signicant impact on society. For this also entrepreneurship is of paramount importance.
 
At Novio Tech Campus, Radboudumc and Mercator Science Park many young and vibrant startups in digital health, high tech and pharma are successfully growing their business and company. Some of whom are supported by Briskr, Mercator Launch, Startup Nijmegen and other initaitives.
 
At the SMB meeting of 20th May we will present the current status and future plans to stimulate entrepreneurship in the region in Health & High Tech;
 
Mark Janssen, member of the board of Radboudumc, will stress the importance of entrepreneurship (next to research) to create a significant impact on healthcare.
Sven de Cleyn, managing director of imec.istart will elaborate on their plans to bring their acceleration program to our region.
Joram Sjoerts, director of Radboudumc Valorisation, will give a presentation on how Radboudumc, with the help of the valorisation department, stimulates researchers to start up companies and bring the research to the market.
– And last but not least, two existing startups related to Radboudumc (Screenpoint Medical and Xheal Diagnostics) will share their experience as entrepreneurs to create a startup in the Nijmegen ecosystem.
 
Presentations are in English and the entrance is free. We welcome new guests, so please feel free to pass on this invitation to relevant people in your network!
 
We look forward to meeting you!

Science Meets Business / OnePlanet; High Tech in healthcare


Date: March 4th, 2021
Time: 16:00-17:00 hrs (+online networking)
Location: Online

The role of technology in healthcare and preventive health is increasing at a rapid pace. Medtech, eHealth and remote care all had an accelerated adoption rate in the last year, partly due to the covid-19 pandemic.

This leads to all kinds of new opportunities for the development of new technologies in health. One of the interesting areas here is the use of sensor technology combined with data capture and analysis to diagnose, monitor and even predict the health of patients.

For our region, the start of OnePlanet Research Center leads to new opportunities in this area. OnePlanet (a multidisciplinary collaboration between the Radboud University, Radboud UMC, Wageningen University & Research and imec) will provide a boost in the development of new sensing and digital technologies and their adaptation in the clinical practice.

During this meeting examples of innovations as well as the future plans of the OnePlanet consortium in relation to the regional health ecosystem will be addressed;

– Future plans of OnePlanet in our region by Chris van Hoof (MD OnePlanet);
– Two entrepreneurs explaining the added value from joint projects;
1. Martijn Vastenburg (ConnectedCare)
2. Hans Niendieker (Ivido)
– The importance of this cooperation by Harry van Goor (prof. Radboudumc)

Science Meets Business; Cooperation in Digital Health; Together we make healing sensible again

Date: January 28th, 2021
Time: 16:00-17:30 hrs
Location: Online

R4Heal is a new initiative where Radboudumc and several companies are building an “interactive personalized healing environment” where, with the help of advanced technologies, patients recover better and faster. This is done through combining smart sensoring, an interactive videowall and virtual reality games reducing pain and stress and improving sleep and mobility.

In this SMB session we will inform you on the R4Heal project itself but also about the challenges that arise in the cooperation between science, the hospital and businesses.
