Interview: Founders of nanotechnology startup Mimotype

Mimotype Gründer im Interview

 

Mimotype has developed new material systems for bio-inspired, organic semiconductor technology which enable light to be generated in the same way as in nature. In that way, Claudio and Danilo Floras have invented Hydrogel-based light-emitting diodes for medical use in the wearables sector, high-end lighting solutions for the automotive, aviation, aerospace and marine sectors, as well as innovative textile fibers. 

Now, the founders of Mimotype want to get off to a flying start in food production. In the interview, the founders told us how Mimotype aims to get there. 

Besides, we asked which advice they give potential founders of tech-startups and how it is to found a company as brothers.
