About Vitroscope
Vitroscope was incorporated in 2019 but it was not before 2021 that the two office-mates and close friends Heikki and Carlo started working full-time in the company. Today, the team combines a deep scientific understanding and the skills to turn visionary ideas into products and solutions, supported by advisors from some of the world's biggest and best in their sector.
