Business Models

Biotechvana follows a business model based in three complementary topics:

Scientific databases; we set up and manage wiki-powered open access projects such as the Gypsy Database. This is a long-term research project in which the user is our research partner and acts as contributor, reviewer and editor. Access to the database is free, but contribution to the project and wiki networking services are available on subscription. In addition, Biotechvana is particularly glad to offer database services, hosting or housing to other research projects concerned with the natural sciences and/or with science divulgation in general.

Software products; as software developers we offer our products by way of an online catalogue – Biotechvana Bioinformatics – which we publish as an electronic journal for both industrial and academic researchers. The distinguishing factor in our product collection and omic services is that they are made by and for researchers, tailored to all customer needs. Navigation of Biotechvana Bioinformatics contents is free but subscription entitles customers to access the whole catalogue of products and to receive technical support.

R&D Services; Biotechvana offers a selection of services concerning mobile genetic elements, virology, bioinformatics, bio-databases and computational biology. Biotechvana services have a common pricing method, transparent budgeting and a fluent customer feedback is maintained until the product has been delivered.
