We embrace challenges.
As a young company with a product as universal as our PNC force sensing material, our customer requirements are just as dynamic as we are. We do not think in standard applications, we adapt and enable individual solutions.
How it all started
NanoSen is a spin-off of the Technical University of Chemnitz in Germany, focused on bringing PNC force sensing materials out of the laboratory and into the market.
EXIST Transfer of Research funding
In October 2022, NanoSen started with 18 months of initial funding provided by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action.
Early Phase Product Development
Over the course of the first couple of years, NanoSen presented several product designs at international trade fairs to test product viability.
Company Founding and Market Entry
The NanoSen GmbH was founded in January 2024, being able to go to market with its PNC force sensing material and other FSI products.
Our Team
Coming from four different continents and speaking a total of five native languages, we are as diverse as our customer base across the world.

Our Mission
We enable the next generation of force sensing by combining advanced PNC materials
with proprietary impedance-based sensing technology.
We help innovators, sensor manufacturers, and system integrators
develop novel force sensing solutions through advanced
materials, electronics, and application expertise.
Our Vision
To establish material-integrated force sensing as a new standard for
human-machine interaction, robotics, healthcare, and industrial systems.
We believe future force sensing will move beyond conventional sensor architectures
and become an integral part of materials and products themselves.
Our Values
Scientific Excellence
We combine deep material science with engineering expertise to develop reliable sensing technologies.
Partnership
We work closely with customers and technology partners to transform ideas into practical solutions.
Innovation with Purpose
We focus on technologies that solve real-world sensing challenges and create measurable value.
Reliability
We strive for robust, reproducible, and trustworthy sensing performance.
Why NanoSen?
Behind every innovation is a team willing to challenge conventions.
NanoSen was founded on the belief that breakthrough technologies emerge when expertise from different disciplines comes together. Our team combines backgrounds in materials science, electronics, software, and engineering with a shared passion for solving complex sensing challenges.
We embrace uncertainty, explore new ideas, and work closely with partners to turn research into practical solutions.
