Flux Robotics is proud to announce that we have been selected as one of eight healthcare startups competing for the prestigious Innovator Award at this year's Philips Innovation Awards (PHIA)! 🎉

The Philips Innovation Awards is the largest student-entrepreneur award in the Netherlands, celebrating groundbreaking startups that are shaping the future of technology and healthcare. This annual competition provides a unique platform for emerging companies to gain visibility, receive expert mentorship, and connect with a network of leading industry professionals and investors. Being selected for the PHIA is a testament to the innovation behind our solutions and an opportunity to showcase how Flux Robotics is driving positive change in vascular interventions.

Last week, our team, represented by Luana Saliman and Christoff Heunis, participated in the PHIA Coaching Day in The Hague. This event provided valuable insights into refining our value proposition, focusing on the core benefits of our magnetic navigation technology for surgeons, patients, and hospitals. Engaging with industry leaders from Philips, Arnold & Siedsma, Google, Equinix, and NIBC Bank has helped sharpen our vision for delivering impactful solutions in vascular surgery.

For Flux Robotics, participating in PHIA is more than just a competition—it's an opportunity to amplify our mission of revolutionizing vascular surgery. The exposure and mentorship from this platform help us align with industry standards, fine-tune our approach to market entry, and position the Flux 2 system as a transformative solution in healthcare. Winning or being recognized at PHIA can accelerate collaborations, open doors to strategic partnerships, and strengthen investor confidence.

We want to recognize the efforts of our incredible team members working tirelessly behind the scenes to make Flux 2 a game-changer in the operating room:
🙌 Misgana Shewangizaw Chimsa
🙌 Nikita de Haan
🙌 Helgi Knol
🙌 Bryan Wermelink

The Flux 2 system is designed to address the complexities of vascular interventions, offering precise, contactless stent navigation that reduces procedure times, expands patient eligibility, and improves overall clinical outcomes.

✨ Stay tuned—big things are coming! ✨
