BioDetect Diapers
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most frequent and impactful health issues among elderly people (in particular woman) living in long-term care facilities. This is the case due to atypical symptoms, cognitive decline, and Asymptomatic Bacteriuria (ASB), which on its way can lead to delayed diagnosis, inappropriate antibiotic use, and costly hospitalizations. This leads to unnecesasary discomfort and a decline in overall health. At the same time, caregivers are left managing frequent diaper changes, more complex care needs, and rising treatment costs. Which all could be prevented by earlier UTI diagnosis.

Lente Health
Therapists across Europe are overworked, burnt out, and too much of their day is spent on non-clinical tasks.

Cognitive health is an increasingly critical concern. More than 55 million people live with dementia, a number expected to nearly double by 2050, with Alzheimer’s disease accounting for 60–70% of cases. While age is the strongest risk factor, especially after 65, cognitive decline is not a normal part of aging. Declining cognitive health significantly impacts daily functioning, making it difficult to manage quotidian tasks. Addressing these challenges requires effective, accessible solutions that support memory, safety, and autonomy in everyday life.

Anxiety and panic don’t wait for therapy appointments. When stress spikes, people often lack an immediate, private, and effective way to downshift their nervous system—especially in public, at work, or in the wild. Current tools (breathing apps, meditations, fidgets) require attention and time precisely when attention is scarce. Weighted blankets and hugs help, but they’re not portable or “on-demand.” Meanwhile, wearables detect stress signals, but rarely translate that data into fast, embodied relief. The need: a discreet, rapid, body-based intervention that can activate at the right moment.

Qrest
Musculoskeletal pain is the #1 cause of disability in the Netherlands, affecting ~50% of adults annually and costing insurers over €6.5 billion per year, projected to rise sharply with ageing. Yet care remains fragmented and reactive. Home exercise adherence is low due to lack of feedback and personalization. Access is uneven, with financial barriers for patients without supplementary insurance and long waitlists in specialised care. Early sessions are costly, while conservative prevention is underutilised. The result is poorer outcomes, relapse cycles, and escalating insurer spending on imaging, specialist visits, and surgery instead of scalable, preventive rehabilitation solutions.

CellaCure Technologies
Our startup addresses the gap between scientific research needs and the engineering expertise required to build customized 3D fabrication systems. Chemistry and biology research groups often require specialized polymer, extrusion-based, or elastomer constructs tailored to specific experimental parameters. However, commercial 3D printers rarely offer the flexibility or control needed, while building or modifying systems in-house demands advanced engineering knowledge that many labs lack. As a result, researchers face delays, outsourcing costs, and inefficient trial-and-error processes. We aim to provide fast, cost-effective, and reconfigurable fabrication systems that translate scientific requirements into reliable hardware without requiring extensive engineering expertise.

GymSense
Optimisation is a big deal in the fitness industry, professional weight lifters are always seeking to find the ideal path of motion to lift the most weight, and even more recreational gym goers pay special attention to improving their form. The current products and methods of tracking the velocity, acceleration, path of motion and more parameters of body parts and weights are either very imprecise or stupidly expensive, making them inaccessible for most people.

CALADRIUS
When medical emergencies occur, teams of first responders need specialized medical equipment and supplies to be able to administer life-saving treatments. This equipment cannot always be carried by first-responders, as emergency situations are unpredictable and the aid required can only be truly assesed on-site. Existing land-based transportation solutions are vulnerable to infrastructure-related issues: congestion, maintenance or accidents can lead to delays which directly impact patient survival rates and can lead to avoidable complications. A more resilient solution is thus desirable.

Over 50% of domestic pets suffer from obesity or chronic conditions that go undetected until they require emergency care. The "Care Gap" exists because current smart feeders are merely automated timers, they cannot track the physiological state of the pet. Owners lack a non-invasive way to monitor vital signs like respiratory rate and heart rhythm during feeding. This leads to late-stage diagnosis of metabolic and cardiac issues. We are addressing the need for a proactive health-monitoring system that integrates medical-grade physiological sensing into the daily feeding routine.

NeuroType
Individuals with severe motor impairments or speech loss (e.g., ALS or paralysis) often face "locked-in" conditions where traditional communication tools like eye-tracking are too fatiguing or physically impossible to use, leading to social isolation and a loss of autonomy.
