QuoIntelligence, founded in Frankfurt in 2020, provides finished threat intelligence that is analysed, contextualised, and stored within the EU for mid-market organisations across finance, government, manufacturing, retail, and transportation. Its analyst-first model combines Mercury, an AI-powered threat intelligence platform, with a team of European analysts who review and curate outputs in clients’ languages and sectors; KARLA, a conversational AI analyst, makes that intelligence accessible across organisational levels. The company emphasizes European data sovereignty, is incorporated under German law, operates entities in Spain and Italy, and stores all intelligence data on German soil. QuoIntelligence targets demand driven by regulatory frameworks such as NIS2 and DORA and positions its offering as an alternative to non‑EU vendors. The firm intends to use new funding to expand go-to-market efforts, advance product development, and grow its team.

VisioLab offers an AI that recognizes food and beverages via camera—without barcodes or specialized hardware—and runs as an app on a standard Apple iPad paired with a compact Bluetooth payment terminal. The system identifies products within seconds, displays prices, and enables payment, with the company saying the full setup can be operational in under five minutes. VisioLab reports it processes around one million transactions per month and operates 43 systems in the Orlando Magic arena, covering nearly the entire stadium per the company. Its U.S. sports customers include NFL teams Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers and MLS club Inter Miami, and it partners with global caterers Compass Group and Aramark. In Germany, roughly one in three university campuses uses the technology through student services, and the system is deployed in staff restaurants at DAX-listed corporations and companies in banking, insurance, and automotive sectors. The company plans to expand internationally and increase headcount to support growth in sports, corporate, and campus segments.

FLEXOO GmbH is a Germany-based deep-tech company that builds a Physical AI platform composed of ultra-thin (sub-200 µm), free-form factor sensors and an edge-AI stack. The sensors can be invisibly integrated into batteries, automotive parts and other electronic surfaces, continuously delivering high-precision operational data that traditional sensing architectures cannot access. Validation projects with leading battery manufacturers have shown the technology can improve cell capacity by up to 5 % while enabling early-warning diagnostics to prevent failures. The platform’s manufacturing process relies on high-volume printing, allowing scalable, cost-efficient production and flexible geometries. FLEXOO also claims a world-leading tactile sensor noted for accuracy and reliability, broadening its addressable market across battery storage, e-mobility and industrial IoT. With fresh capital, the company intends to expand international sales and support, secure large supply contracts, ship advanced prototypes to strategic partners, and reinforce its IP portfolio through 2026. These initiatives aim to position FLEXOO as the foundational data layer for AI applications that require granular, real-time physical insights.
