An investment of almost 15 million euros to develop the world\u2019s first linear proton accelerator<\/a> in the upcoming years, which will be produced by Newco Linear Beam srl, spin-off of Itel<\/span><\/h3>\n

In spite of the pouring rain outside, \u201ctoday is a beautiful day\u201d. That\u2019s what Leonardo Diaferia, founder and President of Itel, said yesterday morning, presenting the company\u2019s new spin-off, Newco Linear Beam srl, the company division that will be working over the next four years in developping Erha (Enhanced radioterapy with hadrons) project: the first linear proton accelerator for the treatment of numerous types of cancer, also including a robotic patient movement system and a software for radiotherapy treatment.<\/p>\n

Itel has received 14.9 million euros from the European Investment Bank through the Miur and the Equiter Research and Innovation Fund (Rif), which is responsible for supporting research and generating innovation in the regions of Southern Italy . Among the three currently in place, this is the most substantial funding.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday is the kick off of a new path. Someone has intercepted us, has glimpsed a very interesting project that can have truly unimaginable developments and has decided to invest in it a lot \u201c, continued Diaferia.<\/p>\n

In this important match, \u201cI simply hope that the machine will enter the market, available for the clinicians, and that this could really lead to do the job we are making it for: treating tumors,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
