We want to bring innovations faster to everyone by reducing the time and resources needed to go from an idea to a market-ready electronic product.

Our take
Processes for electronic manufacturing services and original equipment manufacturers have not yet caught up with the pace of technological innovation experienced in other technological fields. Luminovo believes that the speed of progress can be catalysed with its electronic operating system.
Luminovo products allow manufacturers to cut down the time and money required to take ideas through to business-ready electronic products. Among its services is LumiQuote, empowering electronic manufacturing services to gain fully transparent quotes.
Luminovo aims to continue its expansion by focusing on growing into a deep-tech company with strong roots throughout Europe. Having received funding in 2020 and 2021 and by preparing a public launch of its RfQ product, Luminovo is on the way to realising this mission.
