Newronika Secures €13.6 Million Series B Funding to Boost Adaptive DBS Platform Development
In a significant development for neurological therapies, Newronika, a leading innovator in advanced deep brain stimulation (DBS), has announced the successful completion of its Series B funding round, raising €13.6 million. Led by a new investor, Fondazione ENEA Tech e Biomedical, this round also saw contributions from existing investors such as Indaco Venture Partners SGR, Innogest SGR, Wille Finance, TNBT Capital, and F3F.
The infusion of capital will be pivotal for Newronika as it ramps up clinical validation and commercialization efforts for its unique adaptive DBS system. This innovative technology is specifically designed to provide tailored therapies that not only improve symptom relief for patients with Parkinson's disease but also minimize side effects. This strategic capital will facilitate advancements in product development, recruitment of top-tier talent, and the establishment of strategic partnerships that reinforce Newronika’s standing at the crossroads of medical device engineering and neuroscience.
The momentum behind Newronika's initiatives is further bolstered by a recent grant from the Michael J. Fox Foundation and the approval of an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) by the FDA. These milestones showcase the company's commitment to leading a paradigm shift in the field of neuromodulation. The adaptive DBS technology epitomizes the future of personalized brain stimulation, and Newronika is wholeheartedly dedicated to steering this evolution.
Dr. Lorenzo Rossi, co-founder and CEO of Newronika, expressed enthusiasm about the investment round, saying, "We are excited about the strong backing from both existing and new investors. This Series B financing endorses our mission to transform how deep brain stimulation is delivered. Our aim is to seamlessly integrate real-time neural data and machine learning into our DBS systems to create truly personalized therapies that exceed the current market capabilities."
