**The Celonis story – Almost too good to be true:** What started with a simple idea in a Munich student apartment has revolutionized the world of business processes: Celonis. Three students, a problem at Bavarian Broadcasting, and the start of a billion-dollar company. Today, 14 years later, Celonis and its process intelligence platform are at the center of global AI transformation. At Celosphere 2025, the Munich decacorn shows where the journey is headed.

**Demi in the interview**: Many mid-market companies develop top products, but often struggle with process efficiency. The Munich startup Demi wants to change that – with an artificial intelligence (AI)-based system that intelligently connects strategy, planning, and implementation, thus driving mid-market companies forward in a data-driven way. Our interview partner Philipp Munsch tells, among other things, how the founding came about with Niklas Löckel and Tobias Wolff and gives insights into current challenges. (Photo: Demi)

**50 million euros for Reflex Aerospace**: With the capital, Reflex will expand its production capacities in Bavaria. The startup based in Munich and Berlin develops and produces high-performance satellite platforms, so-called satellite buses, that are tailored to customers’ individual requirements. The goal is to manufacture satellites faster and more flexibly to serve applications in communications, Earth observation, or data analysis. Here you’ll find the funding announcement.
