About this report
Lybe Scientific is a young Norwegian deep-tech venture that emerged from a university laboratory in the heat of a global crisis. Founded amid the COVID-19 pandemic, this Trondheim-based spin-off of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) quickly transformed a lab innovation into a real-world solution for large-scale diagnostics .
Its core technology – tiny magnetic nanoparticles that can rapidly extract genetic material from samples – proved invaluable when traditional suppliers struggled to meet demand for COVID-19 testing kits. In a matter of months, Lybe’s patented method went from concept to deployment across hospitals in Norway and beyond .
