About tacterion GmbH

The tacterion GmbH from Munich was founded in 2015 as a spin-off of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). tacterion develops and distributes the unique tactile sensor technology plyon©. The patent-protected sensor modules measure physical interaction and pressure on almost any surface. In developing the completely polymer-based sensors with unique properties, such as enormous robustness and deformability, tacterion can draw on years of research and expertise in the field of materials science. Originally developed for robotics, plyon© enables more intuitive control concepts for products and machines. The goal is to make the user experience as natural as possible through individual haptic interaction. It also enables the realization of untapped efficiency potential in Industry 4.0 applications. tacterion offers customers from various industries complete solutions comprising hardware and software as well as data management, and provides services to support product development. The spin-off project was supported by the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers and the DLR. tacterion has won several awards, including recognition as a Top 3 IoT Start-up 2015 by Bitkom and the Pioneers500 Award 2016 for the best startup in the Materials & Manufacturing sector.

demi

Organizational knowledge today is fragmented: distributed across files, tools, and minds – without shared context. Strategies are created, but their execution falls apart in manual handoffs, copy-paste, and isolated systems. demi is an AI-powered knowledge & commercial operating system for industrial SMEs. It builds a Digital Company Twin as a semantic single source of truth: a living model of products, target markets, customer roles, assets, processes, and market and competitive intelligence. This twin serves as the foundation not only to collect knowledge, but to continuously generate and reuse strategies and results from it. Based on the twin, demi generates go-to-market strategies, market and competitive analyses, campaigns, social content, and structured lead and contact lists through to CRM-ready datasets and integrations into existing systems. All outputs are versioned in the twin, remain traceable, current, and reusable – instead of disappearing in individual documents after a short time. At demi, AI is not a copilot, but a controllable agent: with roles, rights, and audit trails, it works directly on the same documents as the team. This way, demi connects context, strategy, and execution, transforming organizational knowledge into a sustainable system for marketing and sales results – from strategy to implementation.
