For many medium-sized businesses, the fragmented market of AI service providers poses a challenge. The new offering from company builder Mantro is aimed precisely at this target audience. With the Mantro AI Studio, customers are to receive comprehensive support from a single source: from identifying needs, analyzing potential, and prototyping, through to implementing and operating AI systems. The goal of the AI manufacturing facility is to establish artificial intelligence as a key technology of the present and future in a climate-neutral and decentralized manner in Europe. This is intended to make working with large data volumes secure and enable solutions to be scaled efficiently.
Ivivid and Diggers are also on board. Ivivid specializes in pragmatically implementing AI projects in industry and has already worked with companies across Germany. Diggers has created the foundation for a CO2-neutral and highly secure infrastructure of decentralized AI data centers. Thanks to the liquid cooling design, direct heat recovery from computing processes is scalable and reliable for on-premise and cloud applications. Martin Schechter from 3+ GmbH in Styria is the third partner in the venture.
Mantro serves medium-sized business customer needs
Mantro founder Manfred Tropper comments on the launch of the AI manufacturing facility:
“We are thus expanding the value chain in the AI sector. Together with these partners’ capabilities, we can uniquely serve medium-sized customer requirements under the Mantro umbrella by offering both application development and operation and infrastructure for AI on an end-to-end basis.”
Philipp Gellert, CEO of Bavarian technology firm Ivivid, adds:
“Especially in the AI sector, for our customers ‘seeing is believing’. Our aim is to demonstrate the added value of applied artificial intelligence and substantiate it sustainably with measurable results. Regardless of industry, we can help both corporations and medium-sized businesses to recognize and realize the opportunities offered by automation and digitalization.”
Martin Schechter is also optimistic:
“With our joint solutions, we manage to unite data hunger and climate goals through integrated power-data coupling.”
