About us
Benefit from over 20 years of research from the UCLouvain laboratories (ELEN department, ICTEAM) and multiple collaborations, VOCSens is developing a new concept of environmental camera, EnviCam®, allowing to see the invisible, these chemical and biochemical molecules surrounding us. The company has developed a manufacturing process, CMOSEnvi™, fully compatible with the CMOS technology found in the electronic chips of our daily lives. Established in February 2019, it is based at Axis Parc, Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium, close to Louvain-la-Neuve Science Park.
