Investors
What happens next will shape Europe’s industrial future.
Companies are investing, but new technology is slow to reach day-to-day production. Global competition is growing.

Why this matters now
Industry is investing. The hard part is putting new technology to work.
European companies are investing in software, data and IT. Yet they put new technologies to work across multiple business functions less often than their US counterparts do. PPI aims to close that gap by turning technological potential into reliable applications in production.

Funding strategy
Three sources of funding for the next phase.
The plan combines pilot work, public funding and private investment. Each has a role in validation, sharing risk and supporting growth. None is expected to carry the next phase alone.
Pilot partnerships
Real-world cases, data and expert feedback will help validate the product and show where it creates value.
Public innovation funding
Discussions about regional and Austrian innovation funding are under way. Such funding would complement the wider plan; we are not treating any grant as secured.
Seed investment
Private investment would accelerate product development, market entry and the organisational foundations needed to grow.
Where the funding goes
What we need to build next.
Product development
Finish the analysis, data and agent modules.
Secure operations
Put security, client separation and traceability in place.
Industrial pilots
Prepare and evaluate real-world cases to assess the impact.
Market entry
Build sales channels, partnerships and a credible B2B pipeline.
Company setup
Establish the legal and operational foundations for growth.
Company formation
Planning the transition to an Austrian FlexCo.
André Aßmann is currently developing PPI through his existing business. The plan is to establish an Austrian FlexCo for the next phase of development and financing. Its timing and structure will depend on progress, partners and funding.
Investor profile
More than capital.
We are looking for business angels and regional or strategic investors who understand industrial B2B software, production or market access. Capital matters, but so does a shared commitment to rigorous validation, responsible product development and the realities of selling into industry.
