FTI and& 2024 by Leuven MindGate reposted this
TIME Magazine has announced the 200 best inventions of 2024, and TWO (!!) Leuven Innovation Region companies can claim a piece of that recognition! The Dott Achilles team of Jürgen Oskamp, pieter lesage and Koen Elsen can be proud to have co-developed the moonbird breathing and relaxation tool. It is their hardware that makes Stefanie Broes and Michael Broes' idea accessible to adults and children in their fight against stress and for improving sleep and daily balance. A truly well-deserved recognition for both companies! Comate Engineering & Design co-developed the ARC-EX system by ONWARD Medical, as shown on stage earlier this year at FTI and& 2024 by Leuven MindGate. Most people with a spinal cord injury do not have enough strong brain signals for adequate movement. Luckily, this medical hardware device serves as an amplifier by boosting their brain signals. Well done, teams of Sander Van den dries and Wouter Foulon! This global and prestigious recognition reaffirms the leading position of our hardware companies. Or... as we will say from now on: 1% of the world's best inventions in 2024 was made in the Leuven Innovation Region. Let's keep going Leuven & Beyond!
