Years earlier, a team of students at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) founded Eupry, a hardware-enabled SaaS company providing services for environmental monitoring.Back in 2012, we became aware that a great deal of medicine around the world is stored under unideal conditions and therefore may have an inferior or no effect at all. says CEO and co-founder Christian Jacobsen.The pandemic was a turning point for the company.We worked around the clock to send our measuring equipment by taxis to Danish hospitals, so they could ensure that the precious first vaccines were stored correctly. Our thermometers constantly monitor the temperature where the vaccines are stored, and were easy for the healthcare staff to use, says business development manager and co-founder Adam Hartmann-Kruckow.Today, Eupry has expanded its customer base to more than 25 countries and major life science companies.
