Centrion Systems develops electric motor solutions that help power the next generation of drones, robots and autonomous machines. As more industries adopt automation and intelligent technologies, reliable and efficient electric propulsion is becoming increasingly important.
The company combines strong engineering expertise with a practical approach to solving real-world challenges for its customers. By designing and manufacturing high-quality electric motor systems, Centrion enables innovative companies to build products that perform better, last longer and operate more efficiently.
This company is also very important for the Netherlands and Europe to have more strategic autonomy in its supply chain for products which are critical for a safer future.
PCaVision is building an AI-assisted diagnostic pathway for one of the most common cancers among men: prostate cancer. Their technology combines multiparametric ultrasound imaging with AI-powered algorithms to help urologists detect suspicious areas for prostate cancer, without relying on MRI as the default route.
What makes the approach powerful is that it can make prostate cancer diagnosis faster, more accessible, and less burdensome for patients. PCaVision enables instant 3D visualization of suspicious regions, supports targeted biopsies during the first consultation, and can reduce the need for multiple hospital visits and long waiting times. For clinics and hospitals, it also helps bridge the diagnostic capacity gap by freeing up scarce MRI capacity.
PCaVision is already CE/MDR Class IIb certified, ISO 13485 certified, and commercially deployed in authorized EU markets.
Waving.ai is building “invisible security” for places where you simply cannot afford blind spots. Think critical infrastructure, industrial sites, and security and defense environments. Their core idea is surprisingly elegant: they use ordinary Wi Fi waves, combined with AI and edge computing, to detect human presence and movement in ways that cameras and traditional sensors often cannot.
What makes the approach different is that it can detect presence without line of sight, including through walls, doors, and objects. That means fewer false alarms, better coverage in complex indoor spaces, and a solution that can scale from small areas to very large sites by creating a mesh of devices. It can work as a standalone system, or it can “supercharge” existing security setups by acting as an extra layer and triggering other systems when needed.
Flomark is a UK MedTech company creating products to prevent fluid overload and acute kidney injury.
Flomark has developed a new IV administration set that shows flow rate in an intuitive way, using a fluid level against a scale instead of the standard method of counting drops. The result is safer care, a simpler setup for clinical staff, and a design that can be manufactured at a competitive cost. In trials with clinical staff, the patented design significantly reduced the time needed to set infusion rates compared to traditional sets, and performed more accurately over time in controlled testing. Flomark has secured several patents in numerous territories.
J58 is the company behind De Ezer: a wheelchair designed to help people stand up and walk again when walking has become difficult or impossible. It’s built for dignity and independence, helping someone move from “stuck” back to “moving” in a way that is practical for daily life and supportive for caregivers. J58 refers to John 5:8.
The social impact is a core reason we invested in this company. Mobility is not just a medical issue. When someone can walk again, it changes daily life: more independence, less isolation, and more social inclusion. De Ezer has the potential to restore confidence and participation in society, especially for people who would otherwise lose their freedom of movement.
A&B Smart Materials is developing a next-generation, fully biodegradable superabsorbent polymer (SAP) platform to replace today’s fossil-based, non-degradable SAPs. These materials are a critical component in hygiene products such as diapers and menstrual pads, as well as in agriculture, where they improve water efficiency and crop resilience.
The company recently closed a £1.5 million pre-seed round, significantly exceeding its initial target, driven by strong investor and industry interest in its technology. The round was led by strategic investors, including Living Hope VC, alongside a strong group of VCs, academic funds and experienced business angels.
Itay & Beyond develops “brain-on-chip” technology – miniature, living brain models grown from human cells – these cells can be gathered in non-invasive manners such as through urine. These models mimic real brain activity, allowing scientists and pharmaceutical companies to test new therapies faster, more ethically, and more accurately than with animal testing. The company’s platform combines stem cell biology, electrical brain activity mapping, and artificial intelligence to uncover how different patients respond to treatments. This could lead to more personalized and effective therapies for millions of people affected by neurological and psychiatric disorders.
VUS Genetics is an Amsterdam-based biotech startup developing CRISPR-based functional diagnostics for cancer and rare genetic diseases. The founder and CEO, Arne Kousholt, is a PhD-level cancer researcher with a deep passion for both science and impact. Since July 2025, Living Hope has been the first institutional investor in this promising company. VUS is building technology that enables the precision medicine of tomorrow. We are proud to support this mission-driven team in their ambition to become the European reference point in precision diagnostics.
