Belgian startup UgenTec has raised an additional €2.15 million from its existing investors, supplemented by a loan from BNP Paribas. Investors include Annie Vereecken (MedHold), Herman Verrelst (Cartagena) and KULeuven.
The Limburg-based start up has developed software using artificial intelligence that can interpret molecular test results. UgenTec's software, called FastFinder, is used in PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing. It automates time-consuming and difficult parts of the process so that results are standardized and no longer prone to subjectivity.
