Ecometry´s journy

By Rafael Herena García

ORIGIN

It all began during my time as a researcher at WIT, where I used to spend up to 3 hours a day analyzing nitrogen and phosphates in water.

ACQUIRING SKILLS

As an R&D manager specializing in electrochemistry, my primary focus was to find alternatives for complex analysis in the field of forensic chemistry.

THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY

In 2020, I returned to Spain and shifted my focus towards elemental analysis. Working from a room in my own house, I dedicated my efforts to developing the first proof of concept for this project.

I maintain my unwavering focus on developing a technology that is not only more cost-effective but also more efficient and user-friendly for conducting water analysis.

THE BIRTH OF THE COMPANY

In 2021, after moving to CEEIC, where I successfully set up a mini-laboratory to advance my research.

During this period, we conducted tests to assess the interest in our projected product, and I’m pleased to say that we received positive feedback.

FIRST PROTOTYPES

We successfully developed the first functional prototype! Additionally, we were honored to receive the Entrepreneur Award of the Region of Murcia, recognizing our accomplishments and entrepreneurial spirit.

GROWING IN CAPABILITES

In 2022, we moved to our current headquarters and welcomed new members to our team. Additionally, we were honored to receive the accreditation of an Innovative Technology-Based Company by EIBT, recognizing our commitment to innovation and technology.
