🎉 Congratulations to our alumni students, Lowie Vercraeye, Ruben Renaer, and Manush Barvar! They are nominated for the Changemakers sustainability award by De Tijd and L'Echo with BRAUZZ. Their mission is to combat the culture of waste in the cleaning industry. Brauzz's innovative solution, a powder that dissolves in tap water, has already prevented over 700,000 plastic disposable packaging units, well on their way to their goal of 1 million by 2025. 🧼 Brauzz is paving the way for a greener future in household cleaning! | Congratulations to our AMS Alum, Petra Truant, and Sven Lanssens on the launch of their groundbreaking company, SPOTWATCH! 🚀 Born out of AMS, this initiative is set to change lives and make a significant impact in the fight against skin cancer, particularly melanoma. 🌞 In a world where cases of skin cancer are on the rise, SPOTWATCH is here to make a difference. They're dedicated to providing high-quality, accessible, and fast 3D body scans to both high-risk patients and doctors. This revolutionary approach aims to detect melanomas more quickly, offering a vital step towards early intervention. 🌐 SPOTWATCH is an AMS baby, and we couldn't be prouder of Petra and Sven for their commitment to creating positive change. 👏 Let's support Petra and Sven on this incredible journey, and together, let's raise awareness about the importance of early detection. Share the news, spread the word, and let's make a positive impact on lives! 🌈💙 #Spotwatch #AMSProud #ChangingLives #EarlyDetection #SkinCancerAwareness |
