Op 9 oktober vond de vierde editie van de Radboudumc Investment Day plaats. Wetenschappers, ondernemers en investeerders uit de life sciences & health-sector kwamen samen om kennis uit te wisselen, te netwerken en te praten over nieuwe samenwerkingen.
Het evenement werd gezamenlijk georganiseerd door Briskr, Oost NL, Radboudumc en de Radboud Universiteit. Met ruim 200 aanwezigen was de opkomst opnieuw groter dan het jaar ervoor.
Succesvolle matchmaking
Keynote spreker Floris Rutjes, hoogleraar Organische Synthese aan de Radboud Universiteit, trapte het programma van het evenement af. Hij vertelde over zijn persoonlijke ervaring en betrokkenheid bij verschillende start-ups, waaronder Chiralix, FutureChemistry en Synaffix. Zijn verhaal bleek een uitstekend voorbeeld te zijn van hoe het mogelijk is om een succesvolle academische carrière te combineren met ondernemerschap, door het inzetten van een ondernemende cultuur binnen je onderzoeksgroep.
Tijdens het hele programma gingen deelnemers gerichte 1-op-1 gesprekken aan, die vooraf en tijdens het evenement konden worden gepland via een matching tool. Anderen ontmoetten elkaar spontaan tijdens de pauzes, borrels en het diner na afloop. Een vruchtbare combinatie, aldus een van de aanwezige investeerders: Ik waardeer het format van de Investment Day enorm. Het stelt me in staat om relevante, diepgaande gesprekken te voeren in een ontspannen, informele sfeer. Dit soort kansen krijg je nergens anders in Nederland.
Nienke Timmermans wint Martijn Kriens posterprijs
Dit jaar was Nienke Timmermans de winnaar van de posterwedstrijd, met haar idee voor een algoritme dat tremoren bij patiënten met de ziekte van Parkinson monitort. Zij ontving de Martijn Kriens Best Poster Award: een aanmoedigingsprijs van 2.500 euro voor haar idee. Inzendingen in de posterwedstrijd werden niet alleen beoordeeld op hun wetenschappelijke verdiensten, maar ook op hun potentieel om uiteindelijk uit te groeien tot een succesvol product.
De prijs is vernoemd naar Martijn Kriens, die helaas eerder dit jaar is overleden. Martijn was, naast vele andere dingen, een van de grondleggers van en een belangrijke drijvende kracht achter de Investment Day. Zijn passie, energie en gezelschap worden dierbaar herinnerd door het organisatieteam van de Investment Day en iedereen die hem kende.
De volgende editie van de Investment Day zal plaats vinden op 8 oktober 2025. Bezoek de website voor meer informatie.
We’re organizing the 3rd Meeting Your Peers Engineers lunch event on Thursday November 28 at Noviotech Campus. Engineers from semiconductor companies in the region are welcome to join.
This time, ITEC will share more about their company, including Green laser technology for sustainable chip assembly and the eXtreme Assembly Lab. They are also sponsoring the lunch.
Joep Stokkermans, R&D Director ITEC ITEC – “Redefining Semiconductor Manufacturing” Headquartered in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, ITEC is a back-end semiconductor equipment manufacturer, specialized in high-volume production of semiconductors. ITEC is rooted in semiconductor manufacturing, combining over 30 years of state-of-the-art equipment and automation expertise as partner to Philips, NXP and Nexperia. In July 2021, ITEC became a separate legal entity to be able to address external markets and customers.
ITEC solutions With an installed base of more than 2600 of the industry’s most advanced tools, ITEC is committed to embed the latest technologies and process expertise into tailored solutions that redefine manufacturing. ITEC enables its customers to excel in quality, productivity, and sustainability with the lowest total cost of ownership.
Jasper Wesselingh, Mechatronic Architect ITEC Green laser technology for sustainable chip assembly The chip assembly roadmap for high-volume production is largely determined by smaller chip sizes and reduced energy consumption per assembled chip. This talk will discuss how a shift from mechanical to laser based processes can enable this roadmap. We dive into the laser-assisted processes and show the steps from lab-scale experiments to prototype equipment.
Dr. Ir. Marcel Tichem, TU Delft Associate Professor TU Delft, Department of Precision and Microsystems Engineering Scientific program leader X.AL
X.AL – eXtreme Assembly Lab Future chip assembly processes need to comply with challenging demands: achieving 10x higher throughput, handling die sizes well below 100µm, and reducing the environmental footprint. X.AL is a joint research programme of TU Delft and ITEC for establishing the technological foundation to meet these demands. Future assembly processes will be based on non- & soft-contact force fields to replace mechanical and contact-based chip assembly.
Program:
12:00 – 12:30 Walk in & Lunch
12:30 – 12:40 Presentation ITEC (Joep Stokkermans, R&D Director ITEC)
12:40 – 13:40 In-depth presentations:
