Company

Cleanroom scientists, since 2012.

ConScience was founded in Gothenburg in 2012 by Joachim Fritzsche and Annelies Vanbrabant. Today we are about 15 people in Gothenburg and Copenhagen, most of us former researchers. We started with custom nanofabrication and microfluidics; since 2023 we have been shipping superconducting quantum devices.

Where we work — two cleanrooms

We work in Chalmers MC2 and DTU Nanolab — together more than 10,000 m² of cleanroom and over 2,000 instruments. You get that tooling without paying for our fab. Our Danish team at DTU Science Park works with customers across Denmark and the Nordics.
