 Overview of the different teams and their business cases

Drop op-It It ◦◦◦◦◦◦◦ Team 1: Merging ultrasonic-based high precision droplet technology with micro-processed plastics

Objec ectiv tive - Miniaturization of existing macro-scaled inhalers and nebulizers - Development of more performant nebulizers suitable for babies and children in which the treatment time is reduced and the efficiency of the drug delivery is upregulated.

Drop -it Implementation of ultrasound technology to atomize a liquid into a respirator

Team 2:

Team 2: Microlaya ...?  Microlaya is a platform that covers the entire value chain of the plastics to develop high-quality micro components.  Objectives: - Showcase the ability to produce micro plastic parts or parts with micro accuracy - Market the group of companies as a one-stop- shop for micro plastic parts development - Reduce time-to-market for production companies

Team 2: Microlaya – who are we?

Team 3: Fibre Optics TE Connectivity The development and implementation of high precision  and miniature components for a new generation of products for connecting optical fibers. Achieve sub-micron level dimensional accuracy on  molded components and assemblies Sirris SMALL-Lab, VUB-B PHOT, UGent CMST lab 
