Better health

Juliette van Haren

'We’re looking for answers to this important question asked by gynecologists and neonatologists: how can we improve the life-chances of extremely premature babies?'
Julie van der Hijde

‘We are making the world more inclusive, expanding our senses, and using technology to replace limitations with opportunities.’
Jordy van Asten

'Our body has a great capacity to repair itself, only sometimes you’ve got to help it a little.'
Nienke Bakx

Agnese Gualandi

'It inspires and motivates me that what we are developing might change cancer patients' lives in the future.'
Leroy Driessen

'The brain is a mystery. Understanding it better - even just a small part - is what drives me.'

Sem Jordaan

'Follow the rhythm, feel relaxed, own it.'

Building the future

Cristina Nan

'Imagine how our built environment could be made more attractive using 3D-printed clay, with buildings like those beautiful Italian cities we love so much. '

Faas Moonen

Anouk Hubrechsen

New antenna technology for fast 6G 'To measure the operation of 6G antennas, you need to be able to 'see' electromagnetic waves. With AntenneX, we make the invisible visible.'
Jeroen Sol

'New scientific knowledge contributes to our quality of life. That’s my future dream, also for this 3D printing material.'
Peter Zijlstra

'You come across biological components everywhere - in water, hospitals, industry, farms. Biosensors play a significant role in signaling and monitoring in all kinds of different areas.'

Sustainable world

Wisse Bos

'As a student team, we’re able to dream and think 5 to 10 years ahead. We want to inspire and encourage industry to take sustainable mobility steps further. We show that it’s possible.'
