From Startup to Global Market Leader
Brand Anniversary of the BioTech Company ibidi GmbH
Twenty-five years ago, four young scientists registered the brand ibidi. Building on this foundation, they established the biotechnology company ibidi GmbH nearly two years later, in February 2001. Today, it is considered the global market leader for innovative cell biochips in live cell analytics and diagnostics.

What began as a startup is now a sought-after technology partner in science and industry for cell research. ibidi's innovations enable novel cell examination and manipulation while significantly accelerating and reducing the cost of cell microscopy by a factor of 10-50.
Medicine, biology, and pharmacy use these innovations to understand the mechanisms of cell functions down to the tiniest details, such as proteins. This understanding aids for example in the development of precise medications and methods for treating deadly widespread diseases of the cardiovascular system and various cancers. Cosmetic medicine aims to slow down skin changes and aging using these innovations.
ibidi GmbH remains committed to Germany as its location: the entire value chain (research & development, production, sales) continues to be based in the greater Munich area, with most suppliers coming from the region. Since 2015, it has been strongly active in the American market with its own sales subsidiary, ibidi USA, Inc.
The company name ibidi is a shortened form of "integrated bio diagnostics," referring to the integration of several bio-diagnostic steps on one carrier. The letters mirror around the central "i" as an axis, alluding to the microscopy quality of ibidi products. The lettering is readable from both the top side for the user and the underside when viewed through a microscope, mirrored around the axis.
