Congratulations to SMILE alumni start-up next3D for winning an award at Saxony’s Innovation Summit! The futureSAX Innovation Summit represents the annual highlight of Saxon’s start-up & entrepreneurship ecosystem and is a meeting point for all stakeholders and innovation enthusiasts. Today, on 19 of June 2024, Saxony’s best business ideas were introduced and honoured. At the Innovation Summit, enaDyne GmbH was awarded the Saxon Start-up Award. The 2. Place went to next3D. The 3. Place went to Primogene GmbH. '45minuten" received the audience award. We are proud of the success achieved by our SMILE supported start-up next3D GmbH. next3D developes a surgical mixed reality navigation system. With the mixed reality software platform for smartphones, tablets or data glasses, surgeons can determine the current position of the instrument in the patient. A crosshair visualizes the position in the MRI/CT images. This shows the distance to the target area or to risk structures such as blood vessels or nerves. Together with Leipzig University’s start-up initiative SMILE, a further selection of our SMILE supported start-ups participated in the event, such as Greenhub + ESTER + WeCreate + Disaster Relief System and others in order to strengthen their relationships with investors and important stakeholders.
