Eevia Health ("Eevia" or "The Company") has finalized a development project for the documentation of bioactivity on its products, which was co-funded by Business Finland. Eevia executed the project in 2023 and filed the final report in February 2024. The report is now approved. Last week, Eevia received the grant payment of c. 2,747 kSEK (243 kEUR) from Business Finland.

 

A central activity in the project was a broad in vitro screening of Eevia's top extracts on the Eurofins BioMAP phenotyping platform. The successful execution of the study provided Eevia with troves of insightful new research data on its products, with especially promising bioactivity for one ingredient.

A continuation project named "Global Vision" is now planned for the most promising ingredient. Eevia is seeking approximately kEUR 800 in new non-dilutive funding for the continuation project which will enable the product to be marketed to humans.

We achieved remarkable results on our eye-health ingredient in the Eurofins BioMAP in-vitro assay system employing over 140 biomarkers. The data strengthened the case for possible clinical efficacy in maintaining homeostasis of Retinal Pigment Epithelium cells (RPE cells) in the human eye. This brings us closer to the market launch of a novel and effective pre-treatment for macular degeneration to a EUR 5 billion eye-health segment utilizing Finnish circular raw materials and pharmacology competencies to drive an ophthalmologic health innovation that provides eye health protection, improves patient care outcomes, and reduces costs to the health system,” says Petri Lackman, Eevia’s Chief Technical Officer.
