Heliatek was spun-off in 2006 from the Technical University of Dresden (IAPP) and the University of Ulm. The company's founding brought together expertise in the fields of organic optoelectronics and organic oligomer synthesis. Heliatek is a provider of organic photovoltaics (OPV) based on small molecules and working to shape a sustainable solar future. At the moment, Heliatek is making the transition from pure technology development to industrial manufacture. Their goal is to soon mass-produce organic photovoltaic panels using a deployable roll-to-roll process.
