Congratulations to LimmaTech Biologics AG for the AMR Conference prize

We are very happy to share that the team from Limmatech won the first INCATE startup prize at the AMR Conference in April. The prize of 10,000 euros was provided by our partner Vossius. The AMR Conference audience selected the winner with over 140 people voting. Laura Yates from Limmatech was selected from 10 fantastic pitches. If you missed it, the full pitch session is available here. Each of the teams were provided with a recording of their pitch which they can use for their own purposes.
