Our History

With the experience in both molecular research and medical/laboratory instrument design, Solar Biotechnology Ltd. was founded in 2011 to facilitate the bridge between academic and industrial parties. SolarBiotec was founded as a Teknogirisim (Techno entrepreneurship) company to perform the technological feasibility experiments to develop a portable instrument for molecular diagnostics. ​By the completion of the project, the company moved to the Izmir Technology Development Zone, to get a tax-exempt status in 2014. In 2015, Solar Biotec gained Genoma Medical Technologies to increase their experience further in Medical/Laboratory instrument design.
