History
editNovogenia GmbH was founded in 2009 in Salzburg, Austria.[4] The company shortly got a license from the Austrian government to conduct medical genetic testing and swiftly ventured into preventive genetic testing.[5][6]
In 2012, Novogenia GmbH acquired Genosense Diagnostics, an Austrian competitor based in Vienna.[7][8] In 2018, the company introduced Deep Genome AI, which uses artificial intelligence to interpret and store genetic research data, accelerating the development of gene-based products.[9][10] In 2019, firm's operations expanded due to the COVID-19 crisis,[11][12] emerging as Austria's largest COVID-19 laboratory, conducting up to 275,000 tests daily and producing millions of medical devices for sample collection.[13][14][15][16]
On October 18, 2021, Novogenia founder Daniel Wallerstorfer was awarded "Entrepreneur of the Year" in the category of "Innovation & Hightech Rising Stars" in Salzburg.[17][18]
In December 2021, Novogenia GmbH underwent an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Munich stock exchange under DARWIN AG, a biotechnology group of companies.[19][20]
