Optogan was founded in 2004 in Espoo, Finland, by Maxim Odnoblyudov, Vladislav Bougrov, and Alexey Kovsh, graduates of the chair of Nobel Prize laureate Zhores Alferov. They have received several rounds of financing from various European venture capital investment funds. After the development stage, the company's research and development and pilot production line were expanded to the MST Factory site in Dortmund, Germany.
In 2008, the Russian private equity group Onexim acquired the company. In 2009, Russian government investment funds Rusnano and RIK joined Onexim as investors to develop a full-scale production facility for HB LEDs in the Strelna free-economic zone near St. Petersburg, Russia.[3]
