Publication presentations SMB meeting ‘Early stage funding for innovative startups’ and Innoboot 2017

It is commonly known that the Dutch Centre of Entrepreneurship (RVO) offers a large variety of loans and grants for innovative entrepreneurs. But most of us have trouble finding the right loan/grant and hesitate to actually submit an application. Elke van de Graaf gave a good insight of the most suitable instruments for innovative startups and offered inside information and multiple tips&trics on how to increase the success rate of your application. Her presentation is now available on our website, should you have missed the meeting or wish to look at the information again.

We would like to thank the two entrepreneurs, Artur Steffen (GoClinic) and David Uhlenbroich (eDolly), who took the time to inform us of their personal journey in entrepreneurship, their achievements, but also their challenges in securing sufficient funding to meet their goals and targets.

We finished off the meeting with drinks & bites and of course ample room for networking! Please click on this link to look back at the presentations of May 18, 2017 and for the publiation of the presentations from the two key note speakers of the Innoboot 2017 (April 11, 2017).

Slides from SMB meeting ‘Crossing borders; boost your health innovations!’ now available

We’re proud of yet another succesful SMB meeting that focused on crossing borders. The meeting was held on Tuesday January 24, 2017 at Novio Tech Campus in Nijmegen in close cooperation with our partners OostNV and Health Valley.

Did you know that OostNV can help boost your health innovation abroad through progams like Boost4Health and Interreg? And Health Valley has an extensive international network as well? All presentations are available on our website should you have missed the meeting or wish to look at the information again.

We would like to thank the two entrepreneurs, Laszlo Bax (Braingaze) and Ypke van Oosterhout (Xenikos), who took the time to share their international experiences (tips & trics, do’s and don’ts) with regards to venturing abroad. We would have never guessed it would take more than 5 months to open a bank account in a foreign country. Improvement is much needed here!

We finished off the meeting with drinks & bites and of course ample room for networking! Please click on this link to look back at the presentations of January 24, 2017.

Braingaze; new start-up addition to Novio Tech Campus

Good news! From February 1, 2017 onwards Novio Tech Campus welcomes a new tenant: Braingaze.

Braingaze, founded in 2013, develops next-generation Mind Tracking Solutions that predict and identify personal behavior for clinical and commercial applications. The unique method of Braingaze (patented in 44 countries) is based on the predictive power of small eye movements as a marker for cognitive visual processing. They call this eye movement ‘Cognitive Vergence’. The Braingaze method is non-invasive, fast and robust, and does not require expensive hardware. As a first commercial application Braingaze has clinically validated a unique solution to more objectively diagnose ADHD in children.

Braingaze will present itself and its business case during the next SMB meeting on January 24, 2017 (Crossing Borders; Boost your Health innovation). For more information, click here.
