The Company

Biodentify was founded as a spin-out from Dutch R&D group TNO in December 2014. TNO is a 3000+ R&D organization and the largest microbiological research group in the Netherlands. Biodentify is owned and managed by 3 partners with extensive entrepreneurial experience bringing innovative new technologies to market in the Oil & Gas industry. The company had developed a novel and patented technology, predicting prospectivity before drilling, with > 70% accuracy. From the beginning they achieved these results based on microbiological DNA analysis of shallow soil or seabed samples through unique machine learning models.
