Our History

DZP Technologies was founded in 2008 by Dr. Zlatka Stoeva and Dr. Dan Tonchev, experts in material
science and technology transfer.

Being deeply inspired by the maxim ‘Cambridge ideas change the world,’ they set up DZP with the aim of ‘through scientific discovery, to develop sustainable technology that changes lives.’

They based themselves in Cambridge to take advantage of the favourable eco system supporting innovation and entrepreneurship.

Early innovations with Solar Photovoltaics empowered us to then secure over £1.9 million in grants
to date, leading to collaborations with some of the world’s leading scientists and institutions resulting in further innovation and new technologies.

Our collaboration partners include the Universities of Cambridge, Surrey and Warwick; the National Physical Laboratory and the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council.

As a result of our partnerships and innovations we consistently attract, recruit and retain very talented scientists and PhD students who share our values and want to work with us. This depth of knowledge from diverse backgrounds ensures we keep up to date.

To date we have worked with 110 clients in 22 countries including both FTSE 100 and NASDAQ listed companies, which we are approved suppliers.

In 2017 Professor Tonchev decided to focus primarily on his academic positions after which Dr Stoeva acquired full ownership of the company.

DZP have real market understanding which results in the development of innovative solutions that are also commercially viable.

We are positive about the future and we are committed to reshaping electronics manufacturing and
user experience, creating bridges between the physical and digital world, hardware and software.
