About
IoT-AI.Tech is looking for strategic partners to develop, validate and commercialize ProductX / Sovereign AI-IoT Factory — a local-first AI-IoT ecosystem for industrial and regulated environments.
ProductX is designed for organizations that want to use AI, agents, IoT data and operational intelligence without losing control over infrastructure, sensitive data, decisions or audit evidence. The goal is to help companies move from isolated AI experiments toward controlled, auditable and operational AI systems.
The ecosystem combines several modular building blocks:
-
ACE / AIMDB — AI control layer and context graph for agents, policies, approvals, lineage, data products, KPIs and access rules.
-
DGX / DLD — sovereign local AI compute and learning control plane for validated operational data, model evaluation, adapter training and controlled release.
-
HID — industrial edge and human interaction dashboard for local environments.
-
FCC — fleet, asset and CMDB-oriented command center for visibility, drift alerts and compliance support.
-
PMD — project, maintenance and operational intelligence layer.
-
CWS — controlled customer and public web surface for communication, discovery and external access.
Partnership goal
We are looking for partners who can help turn this architecture into validated pilots, commercial offerings and scalable market access in Germany and the EU.
Ideal partners include:
-
Industrial companies and Mittelstand organizations with real AI-IoT, automation, maintenance, infrastructure or operations use cases.
-
System integrators, OT/IoT providers and industrial automation partners.
-
AI governance, cybersecurity, data platform and compliance specialists.
-
Edge infrastructure, hardware and local AI compute partners.
-
Research institutions working on trustworthy AI, agentic AI, industrial AI, data governance or AI safety.
-
Accelerators, innovation hubs and public-funding partners.
-
Sales, distribution and implementation partners for the DACH/EU market.
Possible partnership formats
-
Joint industrial pilot with a real operational use case.
-
Co-development of selected ProductX modules.
-
Integration partnership with existing OT, IoT, CMDB, ERP, monitoring or edge infrastructure.
-
Go-to-market partnership for German Mittelstand and regulated industries.
-
Research and grant cooperation around sovereign AI, AI governance, local model operations and secure agentic systems.
-
Strategic commercial partnership with later licensing, revenue-sharing or joint offering models.
What IoT-AI.Tech brings
-
A clearly defined sovereign AI-IoT ecosystem architecture.
-
Product concepts for industrial edge, AI governance and local AI operations.
-
Deep technical background in embedded systems, IT infrastructure, AI architecture and project management.
-
Strong positioning around EU-ready data control, human oversight, auditability and operational resilience.
-
A modular ecosystem approach instead of a single isolated AI tool.
What we are looking for
We are especially interested in partners who can provide:
-
Real industrial use cases and pilot environments.
-
Technical integration expertise.
-
Access to customers, industry networks or public-sector innovation programs.
-
Cybersecurity, compliance or certification-readiness expertise.
-
Funding, grant or accelerator support.
-
Strategic market access in Germany, DACH and the EU.
ProductX is currently in an early startup / development phase. The architecture, positioning and prototype concepts are already defined. The next step is to validate the ecosystem with strong partners, build focused pilots and prepare the solution for commercial deployment.
The long-term vision is to build a European sovereign AI-IoT infrastructure company for trustworthy, auditable and operational AI systems.
