Valentin Kahl and Roman Zantl Among the Top 25 Healthcare Technology CEOs of Europe 2020

Each year, the Healthcare Technology Report recognizes top-performing company leaders worldwide. This year, however, has provided a host of new challenges to the healthcare industry, and companies in this sector have had to adapt to shifting priorities within the market. The 2020 awardees successfully led their companies through these challenging times, and their expert leadership has guided the production of innovative solutions for complex problems across healthcare technology verticals.

ibidi GmbH was founded as a spin-off venture from the Technical University of Munich and the University of Munich’s Center of Nanoscience in 2001. Since then, the company has been developing and manufacturing cell-based assay technologies mainly for academia, but also for biotech and pharma enterprises across the globe. Cofounders Dr. Valentin Kahl and Dr. Roman Zantl continue to lead the company as CEO and President, respectively. They started ibidi directly after receiving their PhDs from the Technical University of Munich—Dr. Kahl in physics, and Dr. Zantl in biophysics. Nearly twenty years after its inception, they both continue to lead ibidi on a strong upward trajectory, helping researchers across biology, pharma, and medicine gain increasing, and more reliable, access to the nuances of cell function.

“We are very proud to receive this outstanding international award,” says Dr. Valentin Kahl, CEO at ibidi. “This positive feedback from industry professionals encourages us to continue the ibidi success story.”

The nominees were evaluated based on their breadth and depth of experience, consistently high organizational performance, contributions to the industry, and reputation among peers. Each of the CEOs recognized has had a profound impact on the companies they lead, including making strategic decisions to drive operational expansion, augmenting research capabilities, and launching new products and services.
