"Thank you very much for the test report. It has helped us a great deal in our project. We have taken measures to cover up the isolator so that no WRe vapor can settle on the isolator. It is a simple measure, but it will save us approximately 63 tubes and 600000 Euro a year. Thank you for your contribution to those great results!"

“It surprised me how easy it was to work in collaboration with such a large company. We got through to the right people very quickly and though they were a part of a large organisation, they worked with us as a compact, efficient team. When Philips presented the working proof of concept, I was proud of the result and the way it was accomplished. Now it’s up to us to successfully market it!”

“We immediately spoke to the right person at Philips Innovation Services in the Netherlands. They were kind enough to show us around. We found that they had dedicated an entire building to the testing facility we needed from them. They optimised the design and performed simulations. In our field, groundbreaking innovations mostly come from small companies. It is nice to notice facilities are taking that into account.”
