In June, the EIC Tech to Market (T2M) Venture Building Programme, part of the EIC Business Acceleration Services, showcased 16 groundbreaking innovations during its Tech Demo Days. Among the standout projects was QUSTom, which aims to introduce a new modality of medical imaging based on 3D tomographic ultrasound and supercomputing.
The EIC Tech to Market Venture Building Programme is designed to help build start-ups by leveraging promising research results through various venture-building services. These services include identifying promising business ideas, venture creation, and development.
Cristina Durán, CEO of Frontwave Imaging, represented QUSTom at the event. As a QUSTom consortium member, Frontwave Imaging is leading the commercialization strategy for this groundbreaking technology. By leveraging the EIC program’s resources, Frontwave aims to bring QUSTom to market.
Reflecting on the experience, Durán said, “Our participation in the EIC Tech to Market Venture Building Programme connected us with industry experts who provided invaluable feedback. This guidance has been instrumental in refining our project and business case, positioning us for new financing opportunities as we advance to the next stage. The insights from experts were extremely beneficial. They helped us improve our pitch deck and business case, and provided a clearer understanding of how to face a Transition project after QUSTom concludes”.
What’s Next?
QUSTom has now moved to the Opportunities’ Exploration phase of the Programme. In this phase, they will receive guidance on feasibility from a team of experts with business insights, who will support them with recommendations for improvement.
