Founded by Alex, an experienced optical engineer, and George, a talented mechanical engineer, Arovia is revolutionizing the way you work, present, and enjoy content on-the-go with their patent-granted technology.
Tired of struggling with small screens while traveling, working remotely, or delivering presentations? Alex was too. That's why he envisioned a large, portable display using a pocket projector and a flexible screen.
