Aurora Cold Plasma Sterilisation is Laureate of the EIC Accelerator 2023
Aurora Cold Plasma Sterilisation ("Aurora") proudly announces its latest achievement: being selected as a Laureate of the EIC Accelerator 2023 which includes a support in blended finance.
This award is a testament to Aurora's trailblazing progress in the field of sterilization technology, which:
- Safeguards patients against potential contamination from previously non-sterilizable reusable medical devices.
- Fosters the introduction of new medical devices, which earlier lacked an effective sterilization process.
- Introduces a sterilant that poses no threat to human health or the environment and is energy efficient.
Expressing his excitement, Jan Laarman, co-founder and CEO of Aurora, remarked, "We're deeply honored to receive this accolade from the esteemed European Innovation Council (EIC). It's noteworthy that about 1% of project applications earn this honor, reaffirming the unparalleled innovation of our technology."
Thomas Parias, co-founder and President of Aurora, added, "Beyond its financial implications, this grant underscores our innovation as recognized by the European Commission's expert panel. EIC's commitment will undoubtedly attract fresh investors, expediting the market introduction of our technology. This paves the way for alternative sterilization solutions for both hospitals and manufacturers of single-use medical devices."

About AURORA
Established in 2019, Aurora is a frontrunner French MedTech company based in Normandy specializing in sterilization. It owes its inception to a 2018 partnership between Aurora, the BIOS Laboratory of the University of Reims-Champagne Ardennes (URCA), and the Regional Center of Innovation and Technology Transfer of Charleville-Mézières (CRITT-Matériaux). This collaboration gave birth to patents centered around a novel low-temperature plasma-based unique sterilization technique that utilizes air gases. Significantly, Aurora's sterilization procedure for medical devices is the first of its kind - leveraging solely air gases without any chemicals.
