LUMICKS received a €250.000 loan from the ministry of education to finance ‘go-to-market’ activities.. Listen to the interview with CEO Olivier Heyning on Dutch radio BNR here.
Minister of science and education Dekker personally visited LUMICKS to learn about the technological developments and market potential for the Tweezers-Fluorescence in its wide variety of applications in biology. Minister Dekker also briefly operated the new microscope, to trap, manipulate and measure a single stranded DNA molecule by himself, and was genuinely impressed by the ease-of-use.
