€3.5 million fresh capital for pre-clinical prototype and business growth

We are very pleased to announce that we have reached another milestone in the establishment of our Therapy Assistance CT.

Dr. Thomas Hoffmann, CEO and co-founder of RAYDIAX: "We pursue the goal of sustainably strengthening cancer therapy through high-tech medical technology.

StreitBAR 2023 Magdeburg

Am 20.04. hatten wir die Gelegenheit gemeinsam mit dem Präsidenten des Leibniz-Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung Halle Prof. Dr. Reint Gropp, dem Rektor der Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jens Strackeljan, sowie dem Kulturmanager und Kunsthistoriker Prof. Christian Antz im Rahmen des Formats „#StreitBar“ über die Leistungs- und Innovationsfähigkeit von Hochschulen zu sprechen. Die Schaffung interdisziplinärer Forschungsschwerpunkte durch gezielte, langfristige Förderungen auf Universitäts-, Stadt-, Landes- und Bundesebene bilden die Grundlage. Die konsequente Überführung dieser Ergebnisse in Produkte und das Erkennen und Fördern zum Unternehmertum motivierter Talente müssen – innerhalb gebündelter Innovations- und Transferräume in der Stadt – das Potenzial entfalten nationale und internationale Fachkräfte zu erreichen. Nur so kann man als Startup in Zeiten zukünftiger Großansiedlungen (Intel) in einem umkämpften Arbeitsmarkt bestehen. Wir sind froh, dass die OvGU am Forschungscampus STIMULATE wichtiger Teil eines solchen Schwerpunkts werden konnte. Wir bedanken uns für die Möglichkeit der Diskussion!

Magdeburg mayor visited RAYDIAX

Generating economic effects by translating research results into clinical application is the key to sustainable medical technology. To convince herself of this, the mayor of Magdeburg Simone Borris visited RAYDIAX today. Our goal is to further expand the excellent conditions the STIMULATE research campus offers young companies in Magdeburg. Together, we want to strengthen Magdeburg as a center for medical innovation.

RAYDIAX presented to Olaf Scholz

As part of the STIMULATE research campus, we presented our science spin-off RAYDIAX to German chancellor Olaf Scholz yesterday. In the conversation, we had the opportunity to explain insights into the technical development of our world's first therapy assistance CT for cancer treatment. Further focus was also to talk about the successful process of transferring university research results into a commercially operating medical technology company. As a team of (former) scientists and students of OvGU, we are able to follow this path with the help of outstanding funding programs from the BMBF and BMWK.
From our point of view, the Chancellor's visit to the STIMULATE research campus in Magdeburg demonstrates the outstanding visibility that has been established in the field of MedicalEngineering in recent years. We are proud and excited to be a part of Magdeburg's continued development into a globally visible medical technology center that will sustainably improve medical care with technical and clinical innovations.

RAYDIAX at STIMULATE-Retreat

Last week we were part of the STIMULATE Retreat to create innovative ideas, concepts and technologies to further improve the outcome of minimally invasive therapies for patients and caregivers in the future!

Clinicians from different departments pitched their experiences and challenges in their daily work with minimally invasive therapies. In different sessions we brainstormed innovative solutions with miscellaneous partners.

Together with this excellent network with clinicians, industrial partners and researchers we benefit to making minimally invasive therapies better for everyone!
