Amsterdam Science & Innovation Award

The Amsterdam Science & Innovation Awards helps move innovative ideas into the next stage of application, towards real societal impact. It is open to ideas to all research disciplines and domains, no matter at what stage your idea is in. The innovation award will give you a kick-start in turning your idea into reality.

By winning the Amsterdam Science & Innovation Award we received a lot of media attention for the brain scanner in the ambulance of the Amsterdam UMC. Thanks to this media attention we also achieved our Heart Foundation crowdfunding campaign goal to finance the equipment. In 2022, we founded the Amsterdam UMC spin-off company TrianecT to iterate our research into a commercially available brain scanner that can help all suspected stroke patients in every ambulance.
