The Series A3 financing added three new investors comprising an undisclosed multinational strategic investor, Atlantic Bridge Growth Fund and Bayern Kapital, and was led by existing investors EQT Lifesciences, ABV Uni Fund and imec.xpand. The new funding adds to prestigious grants won earlier by LUMA Vision from the Irish government’s Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund ($6 million) and the European Union’s EIC Accelerator ($3 million).
LUMA Vision will use the new funds to gain FDA clearance, prepare for U.S. commercialization and develop the next generations of its VERAFEYE platform for additional clinical applications in cardiology and beyond.
LUMA Vision has developed VERAFEYE™, a novel all-in-one 4D imaging and navigation platform with data-driven software applications designed for cardiology. The technology uses a proprietary catheter sensor combined with advanced digital imaging and deep learning to provide unprecedented, high-resolution, 360-degree imagery of the beating heart and surrounding anatomy. VERAFEYE can be used with other catheters or systems during cardiac surgery and, with multiple applications in one platform, can provide all of the imaging guidance needed during cardiac surgery in real time without the need for external systems such as X-ray or CT.
VERAFEYE will provide cardiologists with accurate, precise and comprehensive anatomical data required to guide personalized patient therapy across a variety of diseases, such as atrial fibrillation, left atrial appendage closure and cardiac valve replacement.
Professor Gabor Szlepaki, Head of Cardiac Electrophysiology at the Mater Private Hospital Dublin and Centre Clinical lead of the Atrial Fibrillation Institute, added, “This new technology has the potential to help us deliver more precise therapies for patients suffering from abnormal heart rhythms or structural heart problems. This type of medical innovation is essential for the continuous progression of minimally invasive cardiac therapies that can improve patient care.”
“Physicians require accurate, real-time data at the point of care in order to effectively treat patients,” said LUMA Vision CEO Fionn Lahart. “Our goal with VERAFEYE is to provide the data and imaging physicians need in one system to successfully treat as many of the conditions their patients face as possible. By developing a technology platform that can be tailored for specific therapies in cardiology, we believe that VERAFEYE can be a bedrock of medical imaging for many years to come.”
He continued, “We are absolutely delighted to welcome to the company our new investors and gratified to secure the continued backing of our highly regarded existing investors. As a truly pan-European startup with offices in Dublin and Munich, we have grown our team significantly in the last three years and will continue to add world-class talent to help LUMA Vision achieve its goals.”

Forrester Reveals The Top 10 Highest-Performing Brands In Its 2026 Global Total Experience Score Rankings At Its CX Events9.6.2026 09:30:00 CEST | Press release
Introduced last year, the Total Experience Score evaluates the combined influence of brand and customer experience on overall brand perception among both noncustomers and customers According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) 2026 global Total Experience Score rankings of 375 brands evaluated across Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America in 2025 and 2026, 41% improved their scores while only 3% declined. A compelling total experience — calculated by combining Forrester’s Customer Experience Index (CX Index™), Brand Experience Index (BX Index™), and, for the first time, the new Employee Experience Index (EX Index™) into a unified view of performance — can drive outsized growth for brands. While brand experience and customer experience can each drive revenue independently, the impact multiplies when they are orchestrated together as a unified total experience. In the US, for example, companies delivering a strong total experience see significantly higher returns from retention and enrichment
IQM Announces Novel Quantum Error Correction Approach Toward Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing9.6.2026 09:00:00 CEST | Press release
New approach delivers cutting edge performance, while significantly reducing hardware complexity IQM Quantum Computers, the global leader in superconducting quantum computers, has developed a novel quantum error-correcting code that achieves up to three orders of magnitude lower logical error rates than the surface code, also requiring up to eight times fewer physical qubits. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260609533201/en/ IQM´s breakthrough technology, called barbell codes. Unlike many alternative high-performance quantum error-correction approaches, the new code also maintains a comparatively low hardware complexity, marking a significant advancement toward scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. Quantum error correction remains one of the defining challenges in the race toward practical quantum computing. Errors introduced by noise must be corrected faster than they accumulate, a requirement that previo
Estonia Raises the Bar for Secure Digital Identity in Europe With New eID Cards Developed With Thales9.6.2026 09:00:00 CEST | Press release
The Estonian Police and Border Guard Board has begun the issuance of the country’s new electronic identity (eID) cards, marking a major milestone in the ongoing modernisation of Estonia’s renowned digital identity programme.
