Who are we?
GoyaLab is a startup from the ALPhANOV Technology Center, a member of the French competitiveness cluster ALPHA-Route des Lasers & Hyperfréquences.
It designs, develops market measurement tools based on spectrometry. Moreover, it provides its expertise in Research and Development serving industry in the development of specific applications in spectrometry.
The story of GoyaLab, expert in spectrometry
In 2016, Arnaud Zoubir, PhD in Optics, realizes that modern smartphones and tablets have a camera and computing power compatible with spectrometric analysis in the visible.
Then, he then convinced his employer, Technological Center ALPhANOV to invest in the production of an handheld spectrometer prototype, connected to a smartphone.
Thomas Kuntzel, Engineer, joins the project to perform this development.
After several months of research, the first GoSpectro is launched on the market together with the filing of two patents.
In 2018, GoyaLab signs a technology transfer agreement with ALPhANOV for manufacturing, development and worldwide commercialization of GoSpectro and its future versions.
In 2020, GoyaLab launched the IndiGo, a compact, connected spectrometer, revolutionary in its modularity for multiple use cases. The IndiGo is at the same time, a visible spectrometer of scientific quality, a fluorescence spectrometer and a spectrophotometer for analyzis of absorption, concentration ….
In 2021 and on the strength of its first commercial successes, GoyaLab is in the process of developing an ultra-portable Raman spectrometer. Development continues….
Our mission
To develop powerful spectrometry tools that are easy to use, mobile and affordable thanks to new mobile and connected technologies (smartphones, tablets).
Our vision
The power of spectroscopy accessible to all. Democratize and desacralize spectroscopy.
Our values and our strengths
Ingenuity
Ingenuity is the ability to be inventive, to find solutions. Indeed, GoyaLab engages its resource to solve the problems of its customers with innovative technologies accessible to all.
Performance
Performance refers to maximizing value creation. In fact, we want each GoyaLab resource to be engaged in creating value for the company and its customers.
Socially and environmentally responsible
In a complex world that is changing faster and faster, we want respect for others and the environment to remain two pillars of GoyaLab and that each resource commits itself on this path.
Team
The members of the GoyaLab team put their knowledge and skills at the service of innovation. In addition, they are in permanent reflection and wish to democratize a technique that was previously limited to certain professionals.
Awards
Rewards obtained by GoyaLab during competitions.
Prism Award 2017
In february 2017, the GoSpectro (handheld spectrometer) receives the first prize at the “Prism Award” in the “Detector and Sensor” category. Considered as the Oscar for Photonics, it is the most prestigious international competition for innovative photonics technologies. In addition, every year in San Francisco, SPIE and Photonics media organize this competition.
Partners
To accompany and support GoyaLab in its projects, some partners have invested. Indeed, ALPHANOV, UNITEC, Région Nouvelle Aquitaine BPI and Airbus Group have been able to detect innovation within our company. In addition, as spectrometry is a field that tends to become more democratic, and it is our mission, startups need to be supported by important partners and players.
