TerraLens

  • Location: Oberpfaffenhofen
  • Status: Incubatee
  • Application Field: Data platforms and IoT, Downstream, Earth Observation

TerraLens, a spin-off from the German Aerospace Center (DLR), offers cutting edge solutions to exploit EO data for political and strategic decision making. We fill the gap between scientific prototyping and operational requirements by implementing state-of-the-art algorithms into professional software solutions for security-relevant applications. Our automatic monitoring solutions enable non-technical end-users to easily define their specific problem, analyze vast amounts of data with little effort, interact with the original data and the extracted insights, and take actions based on these insights.

Versatile Robotics

  • Location: Oberpfaffenhofen
  • Status: Incubatee
  • Application Field: Safety & Security, Technology Transfer

Sensitive interactions require robot controllers that can react flexibly. Such controllers currently still have stability/safety problems, low precision and high tuning costs. We offer the first generic full-body controller including AI software for robots that provides stability, safety, precision and prevents vibrations and overshoot. We operate in both upstream domains, integrating our software into robotic arms, and downstream activities, leveraging data tracked through our software. Application fields are for example on-orbit servicing and planetary exploration.

VORTEX Aerotec

  • Location: Oberpfaffenhofen
  • Status: Incubatee
  • Application Field: Aviation / Aeronautics / Drones, Downstream, GNSS

VORTEX is developing Ventus, a fuel-cell-powered long-range eVTOL drone for middle mile logistics, offering 500 km range, 50 kg payload capacity, and rapid five-minute refueling. Unlike short-range battery drones or gas turbine competitors, Ventus combines low emissions, large cargo space, and compact design with GNSS-PPP precision navigation for safe BVLOS operations. Backed by IP in aerodynamics, hybrid power control, and fuel cell integration, the experienced VORTEX team is targeting a fast-growing $3B market with a scalable OEM approach.
