About
QDI Systems is a Dutch deep tech startup founded in 2019 by physicist Dr. Artem Shulga as a spin-off of the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials at the University of Groningen. It is the first company in the world to apply quantum dot technology to medical imaging, including X-rays and mammography screening. Quantum dots are solution-processable semiconductor nanoparticles that efficiently convert photons into electronic signals, and QDI Systems' quantum dots offer higher image quality with significantly lower radiation doses than conventional technologies. In January 2024, QDI Systems announced €5 million in Series A funding led by NOM, the Investment and Development Agency for Northern Netherlands, joined by Carduso Capital, RuG Ventures, and Maki.vc, plus a €1.97 million innovation loan from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO). In February 2025, the company received a €2.5 million grant from the European Innovation Council (EIC) for X-ray and shortwave infrared (SWIR) applications, with total available funding of up to €7.5 million.
