https://www.asio.cz/hr/o-nama

Although different from former BIOS residents like Maldea, ASIO d.o.o. shares the same mission – preserving the ecological balance of our environment. As the Croatian branch of the international ASIO Group, which operates in over 32 countries, the company was founded in 2012 in Darda and is now an important part of BIOS’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. The company’s main goal is to provide comprehensive solutions for suppliers in the fields of wastewater treatment, odor control, and stormwater management – with a focus on modern, reliable, and environmentally compliant products that meet European standards.

Key Products and Systems
Among many innovations, the following stand out:
🔹 AS-GW/AQUALOOP – an advanced greywater treatment system that combines biological processing with ultrafiltration to produce high-quality, hygienically safe process water.
🔹 AS-PCO – a system for neutralizing unpleasant odors using UV light and catalysts, which also disinfects the air. This solution is particularly useful for pumping stations and municipal facilities located near residential areas.

ASIO d.o.o. clearly demonstrates how technological excellence and sustainability can go hand in hand – for the benefit of people, nature, and future generations.

 

 

PROTOSTAR LABS LTD.

“We hope to be at least half as successful as our predecessors in this space,” said Filip Novoselnik, CEO and co-founder of the company, referring to ORQA, whose former office they moved into in 2023. So far, they’re doing an excellent job – so much so that this statement may seem modest in just a few years.

Their first commercial product that broke into the market was Protostar Vision Box – an AI system for visual inspection in industrial processes that automatically detects defects during production. Since its launch in 2022, more than 10 million products have been processed through this system.

Other standout projects include four major contracts with the European Space Agency (ESA). Co-funded by ESA, they developed Edge AI, a system for onboard image processing in orbit designed to reduce the volume of data transmitted back to Earth. In 2024, they became the first Croatian company to send their computer code into space.

Today, they actively participate in various conferences such as SmallSat Europe and Control Messe, and since 2021, they’ve been organizing their own conference – Bounding Box.

 

 

 

ACODEON DEVELOPMENT LTD.

If you’ve heard of the game Infinity Blade, then you know how popular it was during its peak. The game was created using Unreal Engine, a high-performance 3D tool for game development. At BIOS, there is another company leveraging this same tool for its entrepreneurial ventures, and we hope they follow in the footsteps of their predecessors.

Acodeon Development d.o.o. was founded in 2023 as an independent game development studio. Today, they have five employees and actively participate in all AI & gaming meetups, exchanging ideas with other tech startups.

Their most notable project is the game Chaos on Wheels, which launched on the Steam platform at the end of 2023. The game takes players into a post-apocalyptic world full of conflict, where they fight AI enemies using weaponized cars. This project brings new life to both the Slavonian and Croatian video game development scenes and sets a high standard for all their future work.

Other projects include Delta Team One, Auto Battler, and Shiver.

If you’re looking for fresh and innovative interior design solutions, one of BIOS’s tenants might have just what you need. Wizia Design d.o.o., known as Wizia Studio, has been steadily building its distinctive style in the interior design field since 2021.

Led by director Dorijan Palić, the studio currently has two team members and takes an individual approach to each client and project – whether it’s a renovation of an existing space or designing a new build from the ground up. Wizia listens carefully to clients’ wishes and transforms them into thoughtful solutions that reflect their vision and lifestyle. Rather than blindly following trends, they create timeless interiors that blend aesthetics, functionality, and longevity.

Their vision is to design spaces with character – thoughtful, balanced, and tailored to those who use them.

One of their latest projects, KŌN-Ω, harmoniously blends Mid-century modern and Japandi aesthetics into a cohesive spatial narrative. The project stands out for its clean lines, natural materials, and subtle luxury designed for everyday living. Through its spatial organization and tone selection, KŌN-Ω brings a sense of calm, warmth, and modernity – and its character and execution have caught the attention of notable media outlets, including Journal, which gave it special recognition.

From the basement of Osijek’s BIOS comes another company dedicated to developing video games. Though they are both big and small at the same time, they create all their projects with love – BIG SMALL GAMES.

As an independent studio with only one full-time employee, they still achieve impressive results – but is there really just one person behind it all? Not quite. The company actively participates in various Erasmus+ student exchange projects, welcoming young people from all over the world to Osijek – to experience a new culture and bring a piece of their own. Their workforce is constantly in motion, quite literally.

In addition to their already released mobile game Road To A Better Tomorrow, available on both the App Store and Google Play, they are currently working on a new project – From Basement with Love.

This adventure game is set during the Cold War era and combines spy-themed logic puzzles with an inspiring and emotional narrative. It is expected to be released in early 2026 on the Steam platform.

As the demand for mobile and web apps continues to grow, another company at BIOS has decided to seize the opportunity – JOINUP d.o.o.. Founded in 2022, the company currently has just two employees but is already achieving impressive results.

They specialize in the development of custom software solutions for clients, but they also launch their own products on the market. One such product is the Kompa app, which entered beta release on the Google Play platform in August 2024 and is currently collecting feedback from its first users.

The app’s goal is to provide an overview of all sports and cultural events in the city, while keeping users informed of any changes in real time. Users can also submit events themselves, helping to foster a vibrant sports and cultural scene in Osijek.

In addition to their own products, the company offers Flutter development, backend solutions, and web development services, with over 10 years of experience in these areas.

 

 

DOWNTOWN GAME STUDIO j.d.o.o.

While the company name might suggest they’re working somewhere in a city center, you’d be mistaken – their projects are developed right here at BIOS. Founded in 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Downtown Game Studio has worked on various projects, and all their effort is now starting to pay off.

The project currently generating a great deal of interest on both the Croatian and regional gaming scene is Dark Queen of Samobor, a 2.5D action-adventure game inspired by Slavic mythology and Croatian folklore. Its release is planned for 2026, and even before the demo launch, it already boasts over 9,000 wishlists on Steam.

Gamers have had the chance to try it out at Reboot Infogamer in Zagreb, Reboot Develop Blue in Dubrovnik, and a Gaming Meetup in Osijek, where playtesting sessions were held in early 2025.

The seriousness of the project is also confirmed by the casting of renowned Croatian film and theatre actress Sandra Lončarić as the voice of the game’s narrator – the Dark Queen herself. The game is being developed with a strong focus on atmosphere and mythological storytelling, drawing inspiration from proven hits like Inside and Song of Iron.
