Hamburg-based startup company Protembis GmbH has secured a seven-digit state subsidy programme in cooperation with the Institute for Cardiovascular Engineering at RWTH University, Aachen, which is granted by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

The ProtEmbo® device is intended to protect patients from the risk of suffering a stroke during these procedures. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research offers the “KMU-innovativ” funding programme to promote cutting-edge research and development projects and to foster small and medium-sized enterprise innovation in Germany.
