SMB-meeting Health & High Tech cross-overs


Date: November 4th, 2021
Registration: 15:30
Program:16:00-17:00
Networking/drinks/bites:17:00-18:00
Location: Novio Tech Campus Nijmegen, building M, Meet&Greet area (Directions)
 
Nijmegen is the city of healthcare and High Tech. In many cases these are quite separate worlds. Healthcare is about care, drugs discovery, medical devices etc. and High Tech in Nijmegen is about chip production for sectors like automotive.
 
But there certainly is also an important cross-over between these sectors where technologies from the semiconductor industry are used in healthcare. For example in lab-on-a-chip  and organs-on-a-chip development, diagnostics through photonics and hyperthermia treatment trough radio frequencies.
 
In this SMB meeting we have rounded up a group of companies and researchers who address precisely these types of cross-overs.
 
Program
Hans van Bokhoven from Radboudumc will talk about the development of organs-on-a-chip that will influence treatment options and drug development.
 
Klaus Werner from PinkRF will talk about the potential of RF technologies in the treatment of cancer through hyperthermia.
 
Waander van Heerde from Enzyre will talk about their development to determine blood clotting factors with lab-on-a-chip technology.
 
And Peter Harmsma from Delta Diagnostics will explain how they use photonics for health diagnostics.
    
Hybrid event
We expect the RIVM guidelines will allow us to host a physical meeting at Novio Tech Campus in Nijmegen with networking/drinks/snacks afterwards. The event will be streamed online as well. 
   
Good to know
Presentations are in English & the entrance is free (registration upfront is needed though). 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!

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!

Innoboot 2021; Food for Health!

 

 
Date: April 22, 2021
Time: 13:30-17:00 hrs (login at 13:25)
Location: Online event
 
You are what you eat’ is a statement that originates from Brillat-Savarin in the year 1826. For a long time, however, the importance of food in relation to health and healthcare has received little attention. This is slowly changing and that is why we will discuss the importance of nutrition for health and care with researchers, entrepreneurs and other representatives of the healthcare and food sector during this year’s Innoboot.

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)

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.

Science Meets Business; Healthy Brain

Date: December 3, 2020
Time: 16:00-17:30 + online networking
Location: Online

Our dream
We have a dream! Our goal is to discover how the brain works and how the brain effects our daily lives. That is what Healthy Brain is about and that is why we are organizing a Science Meets Business event on December 3rd.

How does a certain food ingredient influence your mood and your decision to buy a new car? How does sitting and sleeping influence the way you deal with stress? What makes you decide to buy a house and which street to live on? Do you feel better in a relationship or on your own? In short, why do people do what they do? The brain plays a major role in these types of questions. The more we know about the brain, the more questions we can answer about how we function in our daily lives.

What influences the brain?
As part of the Healthy Brain Initiative at the Radboud campus, we aim to monitor and test a thousand thirty to forty-year-old volunteers from Nijmegen and the surrounding area. In this Healthy Brain Study, we investigate which social, biological and environmental factors influence the brain.

We can use the results to conduct new studies to resolve social issues. These can involve questions such as: How can I identify and prevent an upcoming burnout? With this new knowledge, we hope to learn how people can become happier, fitter, more self-reliant and more productive. We also aim to contribute to a more sustainable and affordable healthcare system and to develop knowledge and innovative products.

Let’s connect!
The Nijmegen region is one of the hotspots for Healthy Brain research and development. The Healthy Brain Initiative reaches out to anyone who is interested in achieving our dream. Everyone is invited to connect and to contribute!

If you are interested in using our knowledge, interested in defining research questions, interested in help to realize your business idea’s, or interested in setting up collaborative Sc2B projects, please join the Science Meets Business event on December 3rd.
