Bether Encapsulates

Encapsulation inside microbubbles. This means encapsulating the active within a shell of gas. This shell of gas is a perfect barrier against leakage of the active as long as the active is non-volatile (which is the case for most relevant actives). However, just like soap bubbles our microbubbles can also be made to ‘pop’ and this instantaneously and completely releases the drug. This popping can be made to happen in response to triggers such as pH, osmotic pressure, shear or ultrasound making microbubble-encapsulation a very versatile and widely applicable technology. Other advantages of the technology include the use of a very small amount of excipients (since our main excipient is gas) and the fact that the barrier and release properties of the microbubbles do not depend on physicochemical properties of the active to be encapsulated. This ensures a short time-to-market. Website: www.bether-encapsulates.nl

Bioprex Medical

Our proprietary coating technology efficiently kills bacteria upon contact, without being at risk to elicit bacterial resistance. We can apply our coating on PDMS and on titanium substrates, but our technology has potential for a variety of other materials. Our initial focus is on titanium orthopedic trauma materials (e.g., pins and plates) and urinary catheters (PDMS). Future applications include most indwelling medical devices.

Bytesnet

The products and services they provide are categorized into four key pillars: Colocation (optimally conditioned computer rooms with redundant (emergency) power supplies), Connectivity (connections between locations, data centers, the internet, and public cloud services), Cloud (private cloud, partner clouds, and hybrid cloud solutions integrating public cloud providers), and HPC (modular and scalable high-performance data processing, storage, and distribution). Our HPC platform and its related HPC ecosystem enable businesses and public organizations to utilize these functionalities without requiring large investments or over-dimensioning their own IT infrastructure. 100% Dutch in terms of ownership, structure, locations, and compliance with national laws and regulations. Bytesnet Groningen Bytesnet is also rooted in Groningen , located on the Campus Groningen . In 2018, we opened our advanced data center with an innovative Data Lab on Campus Groningen. Here, in addition to colocation and high-performance computing , we provide collaborative spaces for students and businesses. The data center is fully redundant in terms of power supply, cooling, and security . Because d’ROOT functions as the next-generation data center , it is designed for sustainability and high-performance computing for big data . It offers more computing capacity with responsible energy consumption and maximized reuse of waste heat. We are already operating on 100% green energy . Website: Bytesnet

CC Diagnostics

In a recent clinical validation study using samples from the Dutch National Screening Program, the Methica CC Kit achieved 97% sensitivity in cancer detection without compromising specificity. This study, conducted across multiple centers, reflects real-world performance and marks a significant advancement in cervical cancer diagnostics. CC Diagnostics is headquartered in Groningen, Netherlands, and collaborates with various partners, including the University Medical Centre Groningen (UMCG) and IQ Products. Their mission is to empower women by providing optimal cervical cancer screening that is accurate, accessible, and comfortable.
