What We Do
Flusso is a fabless semiconductor company, spun-out from University of Cambridge, developing flow sensing solutions for use in low-cost, high-volume applications. Flusso's new FLS110 flow sensor, with a footprint of just 3.5 x 3.5 mm, is small enough to fit into virtually any product and can be positioned where measurements matter. It's part of a complete digital flow sensing solution for fast product development. Ideal for adding intelligent and reliable flow measurement into all your latest products. Flusso was founded in 2016 to commercialise an innovative sensor technology, first developed by the High Voltage Microelectronics and Sensors group at the Electrical Engineering Department, of the University of Cambridge. The company, fully embedded in the Cambridge tech cluster, has exceptionally strong links within the Cambridge ecosystem, as well as access to all the world-class technology expertise, skills and support that is readily available within one of the most entrepreneurial and enterprising cities in the world. Flusso has established an in-house team of over 20 scientists, engineers and semiconductor industry professionals. Bringing together unrivalled experience in fast-growing start-ups, sensors, MEMS design, fluidic integration and fabless industrialisation and scale up.
