We are proud to share that our founders, Johannes Hulthe and Lars Johansson, have been named regional finalists in the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2025 for West Sweden. This recognition celebrates their visionary leadership and the journey of Antaros Medical and Tracer – from a bold idea to an established global imaging partner in clinical drug development.
Founded in Mölndal in 2014, Antaros Medical was built on a commitment to challenge convention. Johannes and Lars combined deep scientific expertise with a passion for innovation to create a company that delivers ground-breaking imaging solutions and evidence-based insights for biopharma and biotech partners worldwide.
Today, Antaros is a strategic development partner to the pharmaceutical industry, with more than 140 colleagues across several continents and a network with 600+ imaging sites worldwide. We combine cutting-edge imaging expertise with extensive knowledge in drug development and disease biology to develop new methods and deliver clinical trials that support decision-making and enable differentiation in pharmaceutical research. Specialising in metabolic, obesity, fibrotic and inflammatory disease, we provide imaging solutions that offer valuable insights across all stages of drug development, from early- to late-stage clinical studies. The company’s capabilities span all imaging modalities with a focus on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), DXA and positron emission tomography (PET), enabling precise, organ-level evaluation of drug efficacy, safety, and mechanisms of action. In addition, Antaros partners with biopharma sponsors to develop proprietary PET tracers, highly specialized molecular imaging agents that visualize specific biological processes, and bring them into clinical trials.
The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program is one of the world’s most prestigious platforms for recognizing entrepreneurial excellence. Finalists are selected based on entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth, and impact.
We congratulate Johannes and Lars on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to the regional finale in Gothenburg on November 18th.
