Lab to Industry via Startup: Industrialization Challenges of Spin-Based Sensing Technologies — •Mikhail Padniuk — Arda Atomics GmbH, Epplestraße 225, 70567 Stuttgart

Pushing scientific boundaries is hard. Building a successful business is hard. Doing both at the same time is even harder. This is a kind of a problem that deep-tech start-ups face on daily basis. Bringing innovation from a laboratory to the real-life applications require on one hand a deep scientific understanding of the technology as well as a strong engineering capabilities required for implementation of a technology in a competitive product. Building a product within the start-up requires filling the gap between the science and engineering in a business environment driven by investments, business opportunities and the market. Arda Atomics GmbH is a German deep-tech start-up that is focused on bringing spin-based sensing technologies on the market. Currently, Arda Atomics focuses on nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscopes tailored for the inertial navigation applications. In this talk we would like to share some highlights from our journey, as well as share some highlights from the BMBF-funded project QYRO where Arda Atomics plays the role of the consortium coordinator and the system integrator.
