neoplas GmbH puts its emphasis on utilisation and valorisation of research results for industrial applications. Clients are both public research institutions and high technology companies. Being founded as a spin-off of the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP Greifswald), neoplas acts as a developing and constructing partner, but includes management and marketing know-how to bridge the gap between a first idea in the lab and the successful product launch on the market. neoplas has been involved in several national and international projects and currently employs 16 persons (FTA). The three main competencies of the neoplas are:

• Expedient technology development
• Efficient technology management
• Effective technology marketing

Since 2005 neoplas GmbH has transferred several technologies to market available products, such as a plasma jet system for various applications across different industry branches. It has also developed an active thermal probe for an optimised quality control in industrial processes. Beyond these commercially available devices, neoplas has developed several demonstrators and prototypes with different plasma sources and for different purposes. During the past years, the technology development department of neoplas has gained a remarkable expertise in plasma-based decontamination systems for the food industry. Apart from its´ involvement in several R&D projects related to food technologies, neoplas manages the network Plasma4Food, which initiates R&D-activities of currently 30 partners in Germany and six other countries.
