The Company

Company. History. Milestones.

Genesis and development of the company bNovate Technologies

bNovate Technologies SA was founded in 2011 with the goal to be a leader in the field of automated cell analysis. The company is based at the Innovation Park of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL).

 

We started our activities with a few people focused on innovation. Today, bNovate Technologies SA has grown into a strong team of scientific experts and managers who can address the challenge of developing the most demanding, fully automated analysis instruments.
In order to get closer to our users, we established a new Marketing & Sales department in Zürich in 2020 .

​

In addition to our cell detection instruments for drinking water that we distribute directly and through our distribution partners, we also develop specific integrated instruments for clients.
