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 ‘developing sustainable technology that changes lives through scientific discovery.’
They based themselves in Cambridge to take advantage of the favourable eco system supporting innovation and entrepreneurship.
In 2017, Professor Tonchev decided to focus primarily on his academic positions, after which Dr Stoeva acquired full ownership of the company.

Early innovations with Solar Photovoltaics empowered us to then secure more than £2 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 with the latest in technological progress.
We have real market understanding which results in the development of innovative solutions that are also commercially viable.
To date, we have worked with over 120 clients in 22 countries including both FTSE 100 and NASDAQ listed companies, of which we are approved suppliers.
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.
