THE COMPANY
FOx Biosystems was founded in 2017 by Filip Delport and Jeroen Lammertyn as a spin-off from the MeBioS Biosensor group of the KU Leuven. The concept of fiber optic biosensing based on surface plasmon resonance was first initiated in the group in 2006 and further matured with the help of many KULeuven researchers and funding at the national and international level. Inspired by this technology, in 2011, a team of 6 PhD students won the Battle of Talents, a business plan competition for students and researchers in Belgium. Following this success, Filip Delport transformed the concept into a solid business plan ready to be launched in real life. He took the lab prototype, adapted it to the needs of several clients active in life science research and industry and turned it into FOx Biosystems’ first benchtop product: the White FOx 1.0. Later In 2017 FOx Biosystems obtained the official status of a limited liability company and Filip Frederix joined the team as a consulting advisor. With his help, the business development activities of FOx Biosystems were intensified, there was a clear business focus and an investment plan was successfully proposed to investors. This resulted in a 4 million € investment which enables FOx Biosystems to realize it ambitious growth and business strategy. Thanks to this financing, FOx Biosystems was able to hire already 3 employees during the last 4 months and many more will follow in the (near) future.
