The ACES (Academic Enterprise Awards) programme, formed to promote innovation in Europe, is holding its fourth annual awards final in Brussels next year.

Selected as one of three finalists in the Life Sciences award category, Endomagnetics Ltd is to participate in the two day “Start up! The European Entrepreneurship Summit” event.

Professor Quentin Pankhurst, Chief Technology Officer of Endomagnetics, who will be representing the company at the final, said “It’s a real honour to be in the running for one of the ACES awards, and a welcome recognition of all the hard work that the whole team has put in. In 2011 we passed the CE audit for our injectable Sienna+ magnetic tracer which, coupled with our existing CE marked product, the SentiMagTM, is being prepared for a European launch in 2012. It is a very  exciting time.”
