Bo Esbech, co-founder and CEO of Snapform The reason we focus exclusively on hardware is that there are completely different challenges in making hardware than in making software What is Snapform? When you are an amputee, it is vital for your prosthetics to support your activities of daily living. Since no 2 amputations are the same, the prosthetists most important task is to ensure a tailored fit for each patient. Snapform is developing a technology that can help craftsmen to create prosthetics that fit each patient perfectly. In Esbechs words: Creating prosthetics is a time-consuming craft, where the results depend, to a large extent, on the prosthetists experience and abilities. It often takes a series of adjustments to achieve good results. We must therefore move towards a more scientific approach, where thanks to a sophisticated computer model we can determine the optimal shape of the prosthesis. This approach also opens a pathway for us to produce prosthetics more efficiently using 3D printing. Snapform is currently refining their software engine, and, by the end of 2019, they expect to be able to test actual prosthetics on real patients. Why are you participating in the Danish Tech Challenge? Its a very traditional industry, so we need training (or what we call sparring) to enter the market and get the prosthetists to evolve and work with us on our vision, Esbech explained. The company also plans to seek investments at some point, and this is where the DTC is helping them to prepare. Esbech added: We will probably need funding next summer, and DTC can help us get ready. We receive sparring on every aspect of the business, so every aspect has been closely examined, giving us a well-made case for potential investors. Being a member of the DTC is also a quality stamp in itself. - Camilla Gilbro That way your eyes dont perceive that light is blinking, but your brain does. In preliminary studies, the solution has shown to be effective on brain waves measured by EEG. The next step is to initiate clinical studies to validate the effect on, among other things, cognitive performance. DTC can gauge the difference that they are making for hardware startups and evaluate and refine their efforts. In the latest program report, participant satisfaction is high: startup representatives claimed that the program positively contributes to their business development, product development, and networking efforts. Figures from December 2018 also show that among the 100 startups that have gone through the process more than 9 out of 10 remain active, which is significantly higher than average. Whats more, they have created 378 new jobs and raised 448 million DKK in investments. Gilbro cautions that it is ... too early to draw conclusions, but we are beginning to see some positive trends. We can see that some of the participants from the first years are really starting to gain revenue and growth. The general tendencies are that companies are more likely to survive and can more easily attract talent and capital. Jakob Hildebrandt, co-founder and business development manager at Optoceutics Why are you participating in Danish the Tech Challenge? The DTC pushes you to look into some parts of the business you might have assessed too quickly in the first place from product development and supply chain to patents. Participating in the challenge is like a quality assurance, Hildebrandt suggested. At the same time, Hildebrandt highlighted the unique value of the hardware accelerator. He views it as a good platform to share experiences with other companies in the same field and startup stage, but also appreciates being able to be surrounded by interesting people. As he sees it: Its crucial that its a hardware accelerator, so we have some of the same issues as others who are transforming their startup into a more market-mature company. But I also appreciate the people. The other day someone was smearing Nutella on bread using a robotic arm. It can foster some pretty wild conversations across the lunch table. What is Optoceutics? We are developing and clinically validating light to treat neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimers disease. Studies show that flashing light can affect brain waves and a specific protein in the brain, Hildebrandt explained. The company has a heavy technical team behind it, with competencies in photonics, artificial intelligence, and neuroscience. As Hildebrandt pointed out: We know how to construct light that, instead of blinking between on and off, flashes between combinations of colors. KG S .
