Wouter Bulten, Chief innovation officer of Aiosyn: “At Aiosyn, we recognize the critical role pathologists play in diagnostics. Through close collaboration, this EFRO grant enables us to further develop AI tools that support pathologists and enhance pathology practice.”
Close to 20 million patients are diagnosed with cancer every year1. Unfortunately, incidence is expected to increase in the upcoming decades, with a predicted global burden of about 30 million new cancer cases per year by 20402. This underlines the need for new tools to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the disease diagnosis and treatment.
As part of this project, Aiosyn will further develop and validate AI-powered algorithms for breast and skin cancer diagnosis. One of such algorithms is Aiosyn’s solution for automated mitosis detection. The quantification of mitotic figures in cancer tissue is an essential part of the diagnosis of multiple tumor types. By leveraging AI-based digital biomarkers, pathologists can more accurately predict tumor growth and understand patient prognosis. This will help reduce observer variability, improve the accuracy and consistency of diagnoses, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes.
Jeroen van der Laak, professor at Radboud university medical center and CSO of Aiosyn: “Once you have decided which problem to solve, and have collected all required data, developing AI for Pathology is doable. But collecting high-quality data is tough, and getting the AI to a level that truly creates patient value is even tougher. In our AIRAT project we will tackle those challenges: collect multi-center data and move the developed AI forward to a certified product, ready to support pathologists.”
Aiosyn’s algorithms will be fully integrated in existing digital pathology workflows such as Sectra. The AI-powered solutions will aim to provide major progress in the assessment and disease management of cancer patients worldwide.
“We are excited to partner with Aiosyn and Radboud UMC on this project," said Matthijs van Oosterhout, on behalf of Pathologie-DNA, chairman of Pathologie-DNA B.V. "Together, we can leverage our respective strengths to develop AI solutions that will improve patient outcomes and advance the field of pathology. This collaboration is a great example of how start-ups and established companies can work together to drive innovation."

Beyond the ‘Dumb Pipe’: How Agentic AI and Sovereign Networks Are Redefining Connectivity23.6.2026 14:46:00 CEST | Press release
The global connectivity market is shifting. With traditional European telecom growth slowing to 2-3% by 2029, businesses must adapt through Agentic AI, critical communications, and digital sovereignty. To remain competitive, operators should move beyond infrastructure toward an API-driven economy. These trends took center stage at Comarch User Group 2026. The conference hosted over 700 partners from 53 countries, including 201 connectivity experts, highlighting how companies can thrive in regulated environments. As telecom growth slows, demand for broader connectivity solutions across satellite, logistics, and critical communications is surging. Operators must abandon the old 4G “dumb pipe” model, where they act merely as network providers charging only for raw data transmission, for an API-driven economy with programmable network quality, securely integrating 5G with new satellite and IoT ecosystems. - Marcin Kaleta, CEO at Comarch Communications Putting Agentic AI in the Driver's Sea
