About us

A major technological revolution is underway in biotechnology, accelerating medicine like never before.

Microfluidics is one of its cornerstones.

Our mission is to accelerate the biotech revolution as fast as we can, in every way we can, through microfluidics.

Our company

The Microfluidics Innovation Center was founded by three researcher-entrepreneurs in 2011 as a business unit of the Elvesys group. We run collaborative research to build deeptech companies in Europe.

We develop microfluidic prototypes within European consortia to solve researchers’ problems. In parallel, we test market appetite for these prototypes and turn them into products. Once the business model is set and the funding plan validated, we license the technology or spin off a new deeptech company.

We’ve already created 10 innovative companies that today make up the Microfluidic Valley. In short, we’re both an industrial research lab and a startup incubator.

In 2023, we chose to become independent so we could fully tap our innovative and entrepreneurial potential. And to protect our freedom to innovate and carry out our missions on our own terms, we decided to take on no investors and stay a tribe.

Our culture

No routine here: our job is to leave the beaten path. We’re doers! We always look to innovate in a way no one else would. We have oceans to cross to fulfill our mission, and we stay together to weather the storms!
