🚀 Flux Robotics secures pre-seed funding to accelerate safer magnetic surgeries

Flux Robotics is proud to announce the successful closing of its pre-seed round, supported by Future Tech Ventures and NextGen Ventures. This investment is further complemented by public support through a Health~Holland PPP subsidy, facilitated via our collaboration with the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG).

The new funding marks a major milestone in our journey to bring safe, precise, and efficient vascular interventions to patients suffering from chronic total occlusions (CTOs). By combining robotic precision with magnetic navigation, we aim to overcome some of the most difficult challenges in peripheral artery disease.

🔧 What This Enables

This pre-seed support accelerates our next critical milestones:

• Completion of pre-clinical trials

• Product refinements to the Flux 2 navigation system and Uniflux crossing wire

• Strategic growth of our engineering and clinical teams

🌍 A Growing Presence in Groningen

As part of our ongoing growth, we are establishing a local presence in Groningen, deepening ties with clinical and academic partners in the region. This step reinforces our commitment to contribute to the Dutch MedTech ecosystem and strengthen our national footprint alongside our roots in Twente.

💡 About Flux Robotics

Flux Robotics is building a magnetic robotic navigation platform designed to transform endovascular interventions. Our technology enables surgeons to precisely guide flexible magnetic wires through blocked arteries, making procedures less invasive, more reliable, and more widely accessible.

Christoff Heunis, CEO of Flux Robotics:
“This investment helps us move faster toward clinical validation, expand our technical capabilities, and strengthen our partnerships across Europe and beyond. We're excited to keep building with the support of investors who believe in the future of magnetic robotics. It is also a key enabler as we venture north to establish our clinical hub in Groningen, bringing us closer to patients, surgeons, and the frontline of innovation.”

🗣️ What Our Partners Are Saying

“Flux Robotics has developed a potentially game-changing surgical technology with the power to shape the future of healthcare. Together with UMCG, they will further validate and refine this innovation in Groningen. We’re proud to be part of this adventure.” Hilbrand van der Zee, Future Tech Ventures

“We have reviewed several solutions for peripheral artery disease (PAD) currently available on the market and have observed mostly incremental improvements. A completely blocked artery remains extremely difficult to treat. Christoff’s approach — using a magnetic robot — is bold and innovative. Encouraging initial evidence suggests that it works, and we have confidence that Christoff and his team will succeed in further developing the technology and eventually bringing the product to market.” Roel Dekkers, NextGen Ventures

“From its very first magnetic guidewire tests in our Engineering Technology faculty, Flux Robotics has exemplified the University of Twente’s commitment to hands-on innovation and valorisation of research. This funding will accelerate our joint work on sustainable healthcare and strengthen both the MedTech Twente ecosystem and its collaboration with the Groningen area. It’s incredibly rewarding to see a surgical-robotics idea born on our campus make real strides toward safer, faster vascular interventions.” Albert-Jan de Croes, University of Twente Holding
