Arktis - Protecting The Future

摘要

The Arktis team won a Venture competition was organized by McKinsey and ETH Zurich with a prize of £50,000. Several entries were submitted and the Prize was won by a Team consisting of Rico Chandra, Giovanna Davatz and Mario Voegeli, who had begun collaborating in the wake of a number of major events that highlighted the need to counter the emerging nuclear threat to world security. The team leveraged their extensive understanding of nuclear physics to the production of next generation radiation detection systems. The vision was to produce systems that have enhanced performance, can better detect shielded hazardous materials and that significantly improve security across the globe. Following the win, the team formed Arktis Radiation Detectors which was incorporated in Zurich, Switzerland in 2007.
