A recent analysis by Dealroom.co reveals that our country boasts an impressive 14.9x ratio between ecosystem enterprise valuation and venture capital investments over the past decade. Additionally, Dutch startups secured 2.4 times as much late-stage funding compared to the same period last year. This capital efficiency and diverse investment landscape signal robust growth and innovation for the Dutch tech ecosystem. It’s an exciting time to be part of the Dutch tech sector!

𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐜𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐔𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞 In 2020, during the hectic early days of the pandemic, intensive care units faced a serious shortage of ventilation equipment for corona patients. At the request of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS), Demcon rapidly developed the DemcAir ventilation system. The DemcAir was based on the unique ventilation technology developed by Demcon macawi respiratory systems for use with every patient, from premature infants to adults. The separate ventilation modules had been in production at Demcon for many years for supply to foreign respiratory system manufacturers. Now, for the first time, Demcon developed a complete ventilation system itself, for a domestic client. Demcon developed the DemcAir system within four weeks and delivered a total of 500 systems to VWS. Fortunately, the peak of corona patients had leveled off and the DemcAir did not need to be deployed. Since then, the systems have been in storage. Recently, VWS decided to donate them to Ukraine. Demcon was requested to service the systems and replace parts where needed. Last month a team from Demcon location Best performed the service with the help of colleagues from other locations. All systems were tested and parts replaced where necessary. VWS had set a deadline of June 1 to be ready for shipment; thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of the Demcon employees, May 17 everything was ready for shipment. #demcon #lifesciencesandhealth #health #donation #hightech

Maura is pioneering a sensor-based recycling technique that directly analyzes textile properties, bypassing the need for unreliable labels and enabling automated sorting. This innovation promises a more reliable, cost-effective, and time-efficient recycling process, significantly reducing #textile #waste. ♻️   In her role, Maura is at the forefront of this diverse and groundbreaking project. She collects and analyzes data, presents her findings, and works hands-on in the lab. “I really like that at Demcon I can contribute to something that has a real #impact,” Maura says. 🌍   Does reading this excite you and do you also want to make real impact in your work?
