Sector-wide innovation program strengthens Dutch chip industry

Today, 64 companies and (knowledge) organisations from the Dutch chip industry present their innovation program to the Dutch Minister Beljaarts of Economic Affairs. The sector aims to further strengthen the strong position that the Netherlands holds globally in semiconductors. After all, international developments in the semiconductor industry are advancing rapidly.

Demcon joins TNO and University of Twente to accelerate photonic chip innovation

Demcon has partnered with TNO and the University of Twente to accelerate low-energy modulation of silicon nitride (SiN) photonic chips. These advanced photonic chips promise to create cheaper, faster, and more energy-efficient devices, enabling earlier disease diagnostics, safe self-driving vehicles, and more efficient data communication. By combining their expertise, Demcon, University of Twente and TNO are set to drive significant advancements in photonic chip technology.

SEISMIC consortium secures €23.5 million IHI grant to pioneer next-generation minimally invasive brain treatments

Curix, part of the Demcon group, today announced that the SEISMIC research consortium, coordinated by Philips, together with the Erasmus MC as academic lead, has been awarded funding from the Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) to transform neurosurgery through the seamless integration of minimally invasive surgical techniques and advanced imaging technologies. The EUR 23.5 million public funding will be complemented by EUR 14.9 million in in-kind contributions and additional resources from industry partners, supporting a five-year research and innovation program that also includes eight clinical studies.

Demcon bolstered with the electronics expertise of Leap Development

Technology developer and producer Demcon further expands its technological capabilities with the introduction of Leap Development into the Demcon group. The company will continue its activities under the banner of Demcon electronics. The Deventer-based organization specializes in RF technology, wireless communication, embedded systems and integrated electronics development. With this latest addition, the Demcon group now has a specialized company that is dedicated entirely to electronics development projects and has state-of-the-art testing facilities.

Groundbreaking technology for the treatment of neurological diseases

Curix, part of the Demcon group, is developing groundbreaking technology for the treatment of life-threatening and debilitating neurological diseases. This new technology makes it possible to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier, addressing one of the biggest challenges in neurology. With this technology, drugs for brain tumors and neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, can be delivered more efficiently. The participation of Twinning Participaties allows Curix to develop an injector system suitable for initial clinical studies in humans. “Our ultimate goal is to contribute to the development of improved treatments for neurological diseases”, says Peter Frinking, managing director and chief scientific officer at Curix.
