Heliatek GmbH

Offer

Heliatek is a company jointly founded by the Technical University of Dresden and the University of Ulm. It closed its first major financing round in 2007 with BASF, BOSCH, Wellington Partners and the High-Tech Gründerfonds as investors after a seed-investment from High-Tech Gründerfonds in 2006.

After a very successful development over the first three years, in 2009 Heliatek was thereby able to gain additional funding from RWE Innogy, eCapital, Technologiegründerfonds Saxony and GP Bullhound in addition to the shareholders already involved.

Heliatek has a highly skilled and motivated team with currently 40 co-workers including 13 PhDs (physicists and chemists) with an exceptional culture of close interdisciplinary cooperation and target-oriented efficient technology development. Heliatek is embedded in a world-class network of leading industrial players and research institutes secured by cooperation contracts. It includes Bosch, BASF SE and its various university partners. The R&D of Heliatek is supported by several publicly funded projects.
