SAAS | HealthCare | Radical Innovations in wound care management
Due to the rise of diabetes and elderly people, wound prevalence is becoming a serious challenge for medical institutions which lack the sufficient expertise to manage the various ulcers affecting their patients. Poor treatment coordination leads to delayed healing time and very high costs on the healthcare system (prolonged hospitalizations, unnecessary change of wound dressings, higher nurse time occupation and substandard pathology codification…). The startup equips hospitals and healthcare organizations with the right tools to manage complex wounds and optimize patient flow through the digitalization of wound care.
SAAS platform launched in Sep. 22 | €40k revenue | Proven traction from hospitals, clinical trials and Pharma companies | Commercial partnership with French MedTech in 2022 | Next steps : Belgium market development and international partnerships, certification of medical imaging device, AI development | Fundraising of €1,5M (seed round).
GreenTech | The revolutionary indoor composter that makes composting easy
Currently, there are too many obstacles for composting: people have odors, flies, leaking municipal organic waste bags... The product developed by the company is a major innovation in the field that makes composting accessible to everybody.

There’s no need to be an expert thanks to the sensors that analyze the compost and inform the user in real time on a mobile application to ensure high quality compost in 2 months. It helps municipalities and companies (in employees’ collective kitchens) to answer to the new legal obligation of sorting organic everywhere in Europe, a solution must be found by the end of the year.
