Our Story

Hi there! We’re excited to share with you our innovative „UV-Fingerprint“ technology, designed to make the world a better and safer place. At our startup, we’re driven by a deep desire to positively impact society by providing novel solutions that deliver real value.

One of our colleagues, Lukas, has pioneered a liquid analysis methodology that has broad applications in combating issues like drug counterfeiting and fraudulent wine production. This groundbreaking technology was originally developed at the university level, and we’re now committed to bringing it to the commercial market through our startup venture.

We know you’re curious to learn more about us and our technology, and we promise to reveal more details soon. So stay tuned and get ready to join us on this exciting journey towards a safer and better world!

On November 30, 2023, we secured the second place in the Grand Finale of the prestigious EIT Jumpstarter program, surpassing over 620 projects across Europe.
