What we do

Enabling innovation since 1993

AMO GmbH was founded in 1993 with the support of the government of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). From the beginning, AMO’s goal was to become an incubator for innovation in the Rhine region by providing a central infrastructure for nanotechnology that will bridge the gap between academic and industrial research. Since then, we are constantly expanding our know-how and our technological capabilities to keep ensuring a competitive edge.

We are committed to promoting diversity and gender equality in the workplace, and we actively work on building a more equal scientific and technological community that incorporates perspectives from all genders.
