MultiplexDX received the best SME instrument phase 2 evaluation score among Slovak companies
We would like to announce that our proposal for the SME instrument phase 2 grant passed through the first round of evaluators. MultiplexDX achieved a score of 14,48 out of 15,00 points, the highest score in the history of Slovak companies. Overall, in the first round of evaluation, our company finished 11th out of 2025 projects. A multinational panel of experts from technology, business and finance sectors judged different aspects of the proposals, including the technology, market knowledge, commercialization plan, and the financials; evaluators considered three main criteria: impact, excellence, and implementation. In contrast to other programs, the evaluation of the phase 2 proposal now includes a face-to-face interview. Unfortunately, MultiplexDX as a newcomer did not pass through the interview phase. However, we are thrilled and honored to be selected among so many prestigious, innovative companies and will use this experience to bolster our efforts to achieve success in the next funding round set in October this year. Keep your fingers crossed for us and for all oncological patients in the EU.
CEO of MultiplexDX, Dr. Pavol Cekan, commented:
„On one hand, we are delighted by the success of achieving such a high score in the first round; on the other, we are disappointed that we failed the interview. I hope we will succeed in the next submission of our proposal. For Slovakia, Slovakian SMEs and our startup ecosystem, it would be a huge breakthrough moment.“
