EIT Digital has launched a competitive programme to empower European deep tech scale-ups by providing support for securing Series A and B funding. The competition invites fast-growing companies, with the promise that the selected "champions" will be backed in their growth journey. Deep tech enterprises across Europe, particularly those with unique digital offerings, are encouraged to apply by January 30, 2024. The chosen finalists will have the opportunity to pitch their innovative ideas to an esteemed international investor panel, aiming to secure the vital funding needed for their expansion.

BEAT-AF - Ground-Breaking Electroporation-based intervention for Atrial Fibrillation treatment

The Horizon2020 project BEAT-AF brings together 9 European renowned clinical centres in France, Belgium, Czechia, Germany and Austria. Together, the consortium strives to revolutionize Atrial Fibrillation (AF) treatment through catheter ablation and contribute to decrease the huge burden of AF in Europe. The BEAT-AF project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2026. The department of electrophysiology of the AZ Sint-Jan Hospital in Bruges is partner in the project and has so far contributed to the pre-clinical development, the first in man studies and first registries of the revolutionary AF treatment put forward by the consortium. The first pilot studies show that the treatment is safe, effective and efficient.
