Dear Sir or Madam,
|
|
In the current SHS Newsletter, we visit with Dr. Marc Struhalla, CEO of our portfolio company c-LEcta, among other things, about how important the enzyme DENARASE® is to the fight against the coronavirus.
Dr. André Zimmermann tells us what challenges small and medium-sized medtech companies have to face and explains why the significance of equity will continue to grow in an era of digital health, MDR and Brexit.
We also report on our latest investment in SALVIA, a Dutch firm specialising in neurological brain stimulation for the effective treatment of migraine patients. Last but not least, we show you what is likely the world’s best medical gait trainer for use in rehabilitation, manufactured by our portfolio company Tyromotion.
I wish you an enjoyable reading experience.
