January 23, 2024VU spin-off Photosynthetic has been selected as a finalist in the 9th edition of the Hello Tomorrow Global Challenge out of more than 4,000 international participants. This selection not only highlights Photosynthetic’s pioneering work in micro-3D printing technology, but also marks a historic moment as the first finalist from VU Amsterdam and one of the few Dutch representatives ever to reach this stage in the competition.

The company’s mission is to bring innovative microsolutions to market that have a significant impact on society. “We are pleased and honoured to have been recognized as a finalist in such a prestigious global competition,” said Alexander Kostenko, CEO of Photosynthetic. “This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team and it reflects our commitment to bringing innovative solutions to market that can have a real impact on society.”
