Antaros Medical’s CEO and co-founder Johannes Hulthe received the SwedenBIO Award on December 6, in a prize ceremony held in connection with this year’s SwedenBIO Summit at Grand Hôtel in Stockholm.
Antaros Medical was founded in 2014 to utilize innovative imaging to provide critical evidence-based decision support for pharma companies in clinical development phase. Today, they have established themselves as a strategic development partner to the pharmaceutical industry, combining groundbreaking imaging with profound experience of drug development and a deep knowledge in disease mechanisms.
“Receiving this award is an incredible acknowledgment of the value that we bring. This award is also an important acknowledgment of all the work our staff carry out – this wouldn’t be possible without them,” Johannes Hulthe said.
“We know that we’re at the forefront of our technology, but none of that matters unless we can bring value to our clients. It’s fantastic to be recognized for our achievements also in this context by actors outside our client base.”
