Glowee is a cleantech startup developing a disruptive lighting technology based on bioluminescence (the natural light-producing property of certain living organisms).
BACKGROUND
The roots of Glowee are to be found in an arts and sciences prize won in a student contest in 2013. The company was created in December 2014 and originally located within the CEA at Fontenay-aux-Roses. Following its first price victory in the 2015 Genopole contest, Glowee settled definitely at the Evry biocluster in April 2016.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCTS / SERVICES / TECHNOLOGY
In just one year, our technology went from a few seconds’ worth of light that required constant agitation, to three days’ worth of stable light. Today, our technology is dedicated to the event and communication market. In 2016, we will be focusing on R&D with the objective of releasing a product dedicated to shopfront lighting in 2017.
