About
Elekta builds the equipment and software used to plan and deliver radiation treatment for cancer — the Leksell Gamma Knife for stereotactic radiosurgery, linear accelerators including the Unity MR-Linac, brachytherapy, and the MOSAIQ and Monaco software lines. It was founded in Stockholm in 1972 by Lars Leksell, a professor of neurosurgery at the Karolinska Institute, and his son Laurent, and trades on Nasdaq Stockholm. Its Canadian connection is Acumyn, a University Health Network spin-off in Toronto whose AQUA quality-management software Elekta had commercialised under an exclusive agreement since 2014 and acquired outright in July 2018. Acumyn's co-founder and CEO Ferhan Bulca joined Elekta and took the HealthTO stage that December to argue that Canada builds health innovation well and adopts it badly.
Backers
A public company, listed on Nasdaq Stockholm as EKTA B.
