We are proud to announce that the FLASHGuard Project has been awarded the CaixaImpulse Health Innovation Grant 2025 – Improve Cancer Treatments. This highly competitive program, with a success rate of just 6.7%, is open only to excellent research centers in Portugal and Spain, and supports the development of innovative medical technologies with the potential to transform patient care.

The grant includes an initial €50,000 and provides a pathway to securing up to €700,000 over five years, distributed across three stages. Beyond funding, it offers 5 hours of mentoring, 10 hours of expert advice with top specialists from the “la Caixa” Foundation network, and four weeks of business training.

Receiving this grant marks a major milestone for FLASHGuard and strengthens our mission to enable the safe clinical adoption of FLASH Radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) by developing a saturation-free, real-time beam monitoring device.
