Deep tech startup QDI Systems has secured €5mn in Series A funding to further boost its ambitious mission: revolutionising X-ray imaging and mammography screening using quantum dots technology. Quantum dots are microscopic semiconductor nanoparticles that convert photons into electronic signals. Although first discovered in the 1980s, quantum dots have only recently been used in the electronics and biomedical industry. QDI Systems claims to be the first to apply the technology to medical imaging such as X-rays and mammography screening. Founded in 2019 in Groningen, the startup was born as a spinoff of the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials at the…
