China-headquartered MGI Tech Co. has announced the opening of its new European headquarters in Berlin, Germany to support the life science community across the region.

The new facility, conveniently located near the Berlin Brandenburg Airport and open to external visits, features MGI's latest products and technologies. The space spans over 600 square meters and features the company's very own Customer Experience Center (CEC) and advanced labs, with plans for further expansion. It will also be home to prototypes of upcoming MGI products for early access and testing by European partners and collaborators.

Equipped with MGI's full product portfolio, the CEC within the new Berlin headquarters serves as a dedicated gateway for researchers and scientists in the region to learn about and experience the company's cutting-edge life science innovation. Through tailored trainings, demos, and hands-on workflow, visitors can explore the full possibilities of creating their own innovative multi-omics tools based on the proprietary DNBSEQ technology.

The inaugurate initiative launched at the CEC opening is a G400 Developer Programme to support researchers in Europe with the development and implementation of customised workflows for spatial transcriptomic, multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) and other multi-omics analysis.

Furthermore, the facility has been configured with DNA sequencing, Cell Omics and Spatial Omics capabilities, positioned to support novel application and project development for MGI customers and collaborators.
