New Location

We wanted to take a moment to update you on the exciting developments at InnoGrove over the past year. As we strive to meet the growing needs of our community, we embarked on a journey to expand our space. After careful consideration, we explored two promising larger locations, but ultimately decided to add a small office within our existing complex.

We are delighted to share that our new office is now home to two companies:

Barnett Technical Services: They specialize in the sales and distribution of chemical and materials analysis products. With their expertise, they have been instrumental in advancing research and innovation in various industries.

Barnett Technical Services Super Resolution Microscope

Soar Optics: This startup is developing groundbreaking products for the detection of microplastics in the environment. Their innovative solutions have the potential to make a significant impact on environmental conservation.

On the bench at Soar Optics

We will highlight other InnoGrove companies in future newsletters. Look out for news on your colleagues! Their presence not only strengthens our collective knowledge and expertise but also fosters an environment of collaboration and innovation.
