Invest in tomorrow’s economy powered by tomorrow’s technology. We’ve built a liquid, all-weather diversifier offering protection from long-only equity managers that crash during corrections, or market-neutral equity managers that lag during bull runs. Our edge? Uniquely, we express systematic macro strategies into targeted investments in enterprises. For example, instead of expressing a view on the U.S. interest-rate curve through government bonds, we identify and invest in the companies most sensitive to that macro movement. As such, we invest in a select group of tomorrow’s exceptional companies. Starting with tomorrow’s macroeconomics, followed by in-depth company intelligence. Equally important is our commitment to tomorrow’s technology. Our proprietary system, NINA, combines classical statistical methods with human-inspired AI analysts. These analysts can, for example, read economic research and watch central bank speeches. Its the culmination of nearly a decade of managing billions of euros. Our investors are pioneers with a long-term mindset: people who share our vision of a Dutch investment firm redefining the future of investment management. Attention: This investment falls outside of AFM supervision.

Our mission is to replace mining with reuse as the largest source of the next billion batteries. The problem is that batteries are expensive to reuse today because of non-standardized testing, expensive shipping, and dangerous disassembly by hand. We collect and sort old batteries, test how good they still are, and take them apart. We do this for all types of EV batteries using ML-driven analytics & intelligent robotics. Then we turn them into modular, directly accessible, and low-cost grid storage systems. If we can’t do this, we prepare them for recycling to turn them into raw materials to make new cells. Our vision is to build local factories around the world to become the largest manufacturer of used batteries and their raw materials to realize a truly clean energy revolution.

Computer vision has made major leaps in the last few years. Mobius Labs are going a step further: it’s no longer just Computer Vision, it’s Superhuman Vision. Superhuman Vision means instantly transforming thousands of images and videos into insight, experience, and advantage. Our artificial intelligence-powered technology supercharges visual searches by understanding everything about an image or a video, and automatically creating descriptive metadata for the same. The SDK can run on cloud, local servers and edge devices (like laptops and smartphones) providing the ability to instantly understand and analyze images, video footage, and real-life scenarios. Fast, customizable and trainable with very little data, Mobius Labs AI transforms image and video archives and makes search and tagging problems a thing of the past. We believe that Vision is a power. Our goal is to add Superhuman Vision to any application, device or process, thus giving you unassailable competitive advantage. To get in touch, drop us an email at marketing@mobiuslabs.com or visit our website. Mobius Labs GmbH is receiving additional funding by the ProFIT program of the Investment Bank of Berlin. The goal of the ProFIT project “Superhuman Vision 2.0 for every application - no code, customizable, on-premise AI solutions ” is to revolutionize the work with technical images. (f.e.) This project is co-financed by the European Fund for Regional Development (EFRE). In the ProFIT project, we are exploring models that can recognize various objects and keywords in images and can also detect and segment these objects into specific pixel locations. Furthermore, we are investigating the application of ML algorithms on edge devices, including satellites, mobile phones, and tablets. Additionally, we will explore the combination of multiple modalities, such as audio embedded in videos and the language extracted from that audio.

We believe people should not care about privacy. Not because it doesnt matter, but because it shouldnt be an issue! From data breaches and surveillance of cloud applications, to blockchain smart contracts where everything is public, doing things privately online is becoming increasingly complicated. The only way to solve this is to make everything encrypted end-to-end, regardless of where the application is running. And the only way this can happen is if homomorphic encryption becomes mainstream. We are a remote-friendly company with headquarters in the centre of Paris.
