About Us
Our Story
Phos4nova is a young dynamic spin-off company originating from the University of Twente in Enschede, the Netherlands.
Driven by our belief in the potential of scientific research to positively impact society, we started Phos4nova to make PPEs available to other researchers, in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry.
Our innovative technology is rooted in more than a decade of academic research at the University of Twente and earlier at the Max Planck Institute of Polymer Research (Mainz, Germany).
We aim to fuel the development of new high-precision biomaterials and nanoparticles that will benefit society.
Our Values
Quality and Innovativeness
To facilitate the development of the high precision biomedical solutions, we provide high-quality, well-defined polymers. We develop our materials closely connected to university research, pushing the technological boundaries.
Protection and Sustainability
We are committed to protect human health and the environment, and firmly believe that both can be achieved only together. It is essential to develop medical solutions that do not pollute the environment after their release, and are biocompatible, to make sure that humans and our planet both stay healthy.
Performance and Trust
We pursue these ambitious goals as a diverse team, combining different backgrounds, experiences, and views. Working as such a team demands direct communication, adept problem-solving, and balancing a professional and private life. Within our team, we uphold the values of work-life balance, adaptability, openness, directness, trust and performance excellence.
Our mission
To pioneer the development and commercialization of innovative polyphosphoester-based solutions for medical imaging and advanced therapies, empowering healthcare providers with safer, more effective, and customizable tools.
Our vision
To be the global leader in polyphosphoester technology, transforming the landscape of medical imaging and therapeutic solutions through our biocompatible and biodegradable materials.
