👩⚕️From treating skin cancer with focused ultrasound to scaling across international markets, companies like TOOsonix are a strong example of the kind of deep tech innovation happening every day at DTU Science Park. TOOsonix develops and produces medical therapeutic devices based on focused ultrasound technology. Focused ultrasound is a non-invasive treatment modality that offers high efficacy while minimizing treatment pain, eliminating the need for post-treatment aftercare, and typically avoiding long-term side effects. The company’s devices are designed for dermatological therapies, including the treatment of basal cell skin cancer and pre-cancerous actinic keratoses, as well as common benign skin conditions such as seborrheic keratosis, cherry angiomas, and sebaceous hyperplasia. In 2024, TOOsonix obtained MDR Class IIa CE marking for its primary medical device. The company is now focused on operational optimization and expanding its distribution network across Europe and into new international markets. What we particularly value is seeing how companies benefit not only from their own facilities, but also from the everyday interactions that happen across the park - whether in shared meeting spaces or over lunch in the canteen. Innovation rarely happens in isolation.

The nature is DTU Science Park’s largest — and perhaps best — meeting room 🌿   This morning felt a little different from a typical Wednesday at DTU Science Park in Hørsholm ☀️   We invited companies across the park to step outside and experience our green surroundings together. Our Head Gardener, Andreas, guided the walk, sharing insights about the landscape, the trees, and the initiatives we’ve put in place to support and strengthen biodiversity 🐝   While many employees at DTU Science Park Science Park already use the park’s green areas for walk-and-talk meetings, not everyone knows that it is home to one of the largest insect hotels in Europe, as well as an urban tree arboretum. Here, you can explore how trees grow and adapt depending on how they are cared for 🌳   We also went by the Malus Collection — a seasonal experience, where blossoms in spring and fruit in autumn highlight the diversity and resilience of these trees 🍎   This tour was a reminder that nature isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a space to think, connect, and recharge, even on the busiest of workdays 🌱

"We were excited to showcase our prototype. It was functional, but fairly simple, a bit bulky perhaps. Looking back, it was clear that there was room to further refine and professionalise the design," says Stina Nielsen, co-founder of AleSac, with a smile. Even with strong technology, moving forward requires expertise across many different areas. This is where the right partners make a difference. AleSac entered MedTech Growth with a strong technology. Their antibacterial foam kills multidrug-resistant bacteria in less than 120 minutes (in vitro). The foam conforms to the wound in three dimensions and is tailored for deep, complex wounds. Through collaboration with engineering experts at DIS - CREADIS Engineering Solutions & Consulting, they were challenged to step back, rethink their approach, and see their solution in a new light. This exemplifies the kind of progress that happens in MedTech Growth. Progress driven by the right partnerships and access to more than 20 specialised experts, as well as the DeepTech Mentor team in the program.

“It’s the perfect setting for a walk and talk” 🌳☀️🌸 Spring is really at its best at DTU Science Park right now. Tony and Ismar from ALK can certainly attest to that, as they - like many others - from time to time are out enjoying a walk and talk around the lake by the Malus collection. As Tony says, “Being out in nature gives us the space and inspiration to talk about both work-related topics and more informal things.”   According to the World Health Organization (2021), systematic reviews show a clear link between access to nature and improved mental health, including reduced stress and greater well-being.   We’re therefore delighted that companies in DTU Science Park have such easy access to green spaces 🌱
