We are PRUUVE, an up-and-coming startup from the prestigious IAPP of TU Dresden. Our vision is to develop sustainable technologies that protect the environment, but are also economically attractive.
What we do
We develop and distribute sensors and measuring devices for the quality control of industrial UV processes with the aim of reducing cost and CO₂ emissions.
In May 2024 we closed our preSeed investment round. Our product launch took place in early 2025 for the field of UV printing. Further innovative products are planned in the fields of UV disinfection, 3D curing and security applications.
