Q&A

    • Why did you change your name to BICO?
    • Since 2016, we have built a world-leading Group that offers something unique - namely a revolution in Bio Convergence. This concept is guiding for us and therefore we have changed the name of the parent company from CELLINK to BICO. The new name reflects our business strategic agenda within Bio Convergence and emphasizes that we are a Group consisting of 11 subsidiaries divided into three strong business areas: Bioprinting, Biosciences and Bioautomation.
    • What does BICO mean?
    • It is an abbreviation for BIo COnvergence which means that we combine the forces of biology, engineering and computer science to expand the boundaries of what is possible - to give people a better and healthier life. We see a future where robotics, artificial intelligence, advanced genomics and bioprinting are brought together to, together, advance the global health industry.
    • What is BICO?
    • BICO is the parent company for the Group with Group-wide functions and with a focus on delivering on the agenda for Bio Convergence, identifying synergies, developing the offering and technologies and contributing to the development of the Group's subsidiaries.

Each business area includes the Group companies: CELLINK Bioprinting, MatTek, Visikol and Nanoscribe (Bioprinting), Cytena, Cytena BPS, Dispendix and Discover Echo (Biosciences) and SCIENION, CELLENION and Ginolis (Bioautomation).
    • What happens to CELLINK?
    • CELLINK is and remains a world-leading brand in 3D bioprinting. CELLINK will be a wholly owned subsidiary of BICO and will continue its goal-oriented work with a focus on bioprinting of human organs and tissues.
