Finalists 2022

The jury chose Isochronic as a finalist because they are convinced that the market needs its solution. The new robots require less space and are more energy efficient. The approach is highly innovative and allows faster and more efficient production. The team has the technical know-how to build a prototype, but also the marketing and sales expertise needed to develop the market. In the case of LifeMatrix Technologies, three things convinced the jury. First, there is a real need for transplants that grow with the patient, for example in operations on children’s hearts. Second, the bioengineering is well developed; it is based on solid scientific publications and stands out from alternative approaches. Third, the team consists of renowned scientists and company founders who radiate great enthusiasm for the cause. Lumiphase was chosen as a finalist because the company’s managers actually do everything that can be asked of a start-up right. The transceiver module they developed makes communication between computers more power-efficient and thus cheaper. The chip itself is also less costly and easier to assemble than previous ones.
