🚀 Embio Diagnostics Ltd a success story of EIT - European Institute of Innovation and Technology from Cyprus. We are proud of the work Constantinos Loizou and his team are doing and its amazing that their work is getting recognized by EIT. 🎙 Earlier in June when we asked Constantinos about his experience with the EIT Climate KIC accelerator Climate Launchpad he mentioned: “When we joined the accelerator we got two things, 1.) We got to see where our product really stands in comparison to the global market and 2.) We got to travel all over Europe to test our product. Through travelling and testing our product in Greece Poland, etc. we received something that we are struggling in getting here in Cyprus to this day. We received Feedback from community! Through the feedback we received from EIT Climate-KIC we then did something very simple. Improve our Product!” 🌌 Looking forward to see how high EMBIO Diagnostics will go. Sky is the limit for them.
