Transformational technologies
and innovations for application
in complex industries
Technology and product offerings of our HardTech and Software companies not only drive transformational change and improvements – designed to boost overall performance through increased revenue, productivity, efficiency, quality, and operational safety – but also help their enterprise customers to capture strategic business value by establishing a competitive advantage in the way they operate their “make to deliver” value chain or critical parts thereof.
HardTech
HardTech products and solutions in our focus are combining cutting-edge physical hardware and component technology with software, applications and services that deliver improvements in productivity, efficiency, quality (yields), or operational safety. Truly innovative hardtech is protectable and enforceable with proprietary IP creating a more exclusive space to operate and grow.
Software
Industries
Our portfolio companies serve complex industries and sub-verticals with low legacy tech adoption, and where the value of technology driven improvements and business benefits support their customers to accelerate time-to-market, increase revenue, improve yields, lower costs, sustain higher profitability, and to increase operational safety. Targeted industries and customer segments further provide a critical size, clearly defined application fields, problem statements and real-world use cases for technology adoption.
