🎉 Proud moment: FD Talenten highlights three UtrechtInc founders!
We’re thrilled to share that Irati, Wido and Carina, founders who started their jouneys with UtrechtInc, were recently featured in Het Financieele Dagblad’s FD Talenten coverage, celebrating young entrepreneurial talent driving innovation in the Netherlands.
Each of these founders is building something exciting:
- Irati Beltrán Hernández, co-founder of Lumox is developing a therapy that targets tumors with unmatched precision, sparing healthy tissue, for patients who now face disfiguring surgery or have no treatment options at all.
- Wido Heeman, founder of SPCTR is developing a medical device that aims to improve patient outcomes after cancer surgery by combining light with artificial intelligence. Their goal is to lower patient stress, reduce reoperations and reduce the stress on our healthcare system by making surgical time more efficient.
- Carina Nieuwenweg, founder of Novya Biotech, a synthetic biology company, is developing scalable, fermentation-based pigments inspired by nature. They engineer yeast cells to produce high-quality colors that can replace polluting synthetic dyes and resource-intensive plant extraction.
Their inclusion among the FD Talenten speaks to the impact and promise of founders emerging from academic and research backgrounds and we’re proud to see their hard work and vision recognised on a national stage.
đź‘Ź A big congratulations to all three, UtrechtInc is cheering you on as you continue to grow and inspire!
