CEO comment
In the first quarter of 2024, Lumito has continued to make significant progress. We are happy and proud to have received our first order of SCIZYS reagent kit, which shows the interest in our digital pathology technology. Additionally, our work to CE mark the SCIZYS scanner has made significant progress, and we are nearing our goal.
An important confirmation during the quarter was the publication of a research paper at the Tyndall National Institute using Lumito's technology with upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). This recognition in the research community marks an important milestone for our technology in digital pathology.
During the quarter, we focused on communicating and marketing Lumito's exclusive product event, which was held in Stockholm in April. The event was a success, and we continued to make important contacts and partners for us who are of great importance for the upcoming launch. We are happy to now also be able to demonstrate our concept to potential customers and partners outside our own premises.
We were also recently invited to present at Redeye's Medtech event in April, which gave us another great opportunity to share Lumito's potential as a commercial company with investors and stakeholders in their network.
In February, I announced my resignation as CEO to accept another very attractive job offer. I will remain until August to ensure a smooth transition to a new CEO. I am very happy to be nominated by the nomination committee as a new board member in Lumito and am convinced that Lumito has an exciting future ahead of it.
We look forward to continuing our growth journey and are grateful for the continued support.
