About SkyFive AG

SkyFive connects aircraft, helicopters, and drones. Our solution consists of a 4G/5G mobile network with upward-facing antennas and the corresponding receiver unit on the aircraft. Our patented software algorithms enable mobile connectivity at very high speeds and over very long distances. Thanks to huge radio cells, only very few ground stations are needed to cover airspace over entire countries. As part of the European Aviation Network, our solution is already in use throughout Europe. As a service provider, we provide airlines and other fleet operators with broadband and robust data connectivity that improves the performance and costs of traditional satellite connections by a factor of 100. This enables numerous new services for cockpit and cabin, from simple internet access for passengers in the cabin to complex IoT applications, such as live analysis of engine data and digitalization of numerous processes between aircraft and ground. We will also supply future air taxis with real-time communication services.

ARCIS

ARCIS builds an AI-powered decision layer for logistics and freight operations. Many logistics teams today still work with fragmented processes across TMS systems, Excel files, emails, PDFs, and the individual experience of dispatchers. This results in manual work, slow handoffs, missing information, and inefficient planning decisions. ARCIS was founded by Onur Yılmaz and Birkan Kolcu, two computer engineers whose collaboration began 14 years ago as fellow students, roommates, and long-term technical partners. Onur combines computer science expertise, business-building experience, an MSc in Informatics from Technical University of Munich, experience at Intel, and strong connections to Munich’s startup ecosystem. Birkan brings technical depth from his computer science degree at the University of Arizona as well as practical experience in cloud engineering and scalable systems. The focus on logistics emerged from close relationships with logistics companies and operators in the team’s network. As these conversations increased, a recurring pattern became clear: high-quality operational decisions are still made manually across scattered systems and personal experience. ARCIS helps logistics teams connect this information and make decisions around dispatch planning, load-truck-driver matching, capacity utilization, document processes, and operational exceptions faster and more reliably—without replacing existing systems.
