A new chapter in Aukelos’s growth as part of one of Tuscany’s leading innovation ecosystems
Aukelos has officially joined the Polo Tecnologico di Navacchio, one of the most established technology and innovation hubs in Tuscany. The Polo Tecnologico di Navacchio hosts a diverse community of technology companies, startups, and research-driven organisations, providing an environment designed to accelerate the development and transfer of innovation from research to market. Joining this ecosystem represents an important step in Aukelos’s journey from scientific vision to clinical and industrial reality.
Our mission, making advanced radiotherapy more compact, accessible, and closer to hospitals and patients worldwide, requires more than scientific excellence alone. It calls for a network of partners, advisors, and fellow innovators who understand the challenges of turning cutting-edge research into concrete solutions. The Polo Tecnologico di Navacchio offers precisely this kind of environment: a community where technology companies at different stages of development can exchange ideas, build partnerships, and support one another in navigating the path to market.
What Aukelos brings to this ecosystem reflects what we have been building since our founding. Our technology is based on Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWA), an approach that enables the development of compact radiotherapy systems capable of generating Very High-Energy Electron (VHEE) beams. Compared to conventional radiotherapy equipment, our systems are designed to be significantly smaller and less complex, integrating into existing hospital infrastructures without the need for dedicated, purpose-built facilities. This translates directly into reduced costs, shorter preparation and treatment times, and, most importantly, broader access to high-quality oncological care for patients across the world.
Being part of the Polo Tecnologico di Navacchio places us alongside other organisations that share our commitment to transforming research into impact. We are grateful for the warm welcome and look forward to contributing to this community as we continue to advance our technology toward clinical deployment.
