eMabler is an API-first EV charging management platform for energy companies, parking operators, and retailers, built on an open, modular architecture that connects charging infrastructure with existing digital services, energy systems, and payments in one unified layer, so operators can run EV charging as a core part of their business rather than a side project. The platform enables operators to launch and operate EV charging with enterprise-grade reliability, integrating it into the systems and revenue streams that already drive their business. eMabler supports full regulatory compliance, including ISO 27001, AFIR and Plug & Charge, and provides access to an ecosystem with more than 300 integrations for CPMS, CRM, billing, roaming, payment and VPP services.​ Built for scale, eMabler currently supports over 85,000 active charge points, with more than one million successful charging sessions every month and 99.999% uptime.​ Trusted by enterprise clients across 11 countries, eMabler gives companies complete control over their technology, data, and customer experience. And EV drivers get a charger that works every time they need it.

We think differently and change the status quo of intralogistics. We enable high performance picking with our Industrial Smart Watch with integrated scanner. NIMMSTA has developed the worlds first Industrial Smart Watch. This means we combine the smartness of a Smart Watch with the robustness and function of an industrial scanner and the low power consumption of an e-paper touch display. For our customers, this means: - 50% faster processes - 0% error rate - 100% employee satisfaction We know that communication is the be-all and end-all in any relationship, which is why we solve the communication problem between the workers:inside and the companies warehouse management system. Through 2-way communication we enable up to 50% more efficient intralogistic processes. About us: Andreas Funkenhauser and Florian Ruhland are the founders and CEOs of NIMMSTA. Andreas and Florian went into business for themselves directly after graduating in 2009 and founded the engineering firm AFR Engineering GmbH. Andreas was primarily responsible for engine development at BMW M GmbH and Florian for product development of industrial tablets and hardware. When Florian was looking for a mobile scanner in 2018, he couldnt find a product that met his requirements. This gave rise to the idea of developing a wearable with a touch display, and the NIMMSTA Smart Watch was born. Our NIMMSTA workflows bring a breath of fresh air into the somewhat dusty field of intralogistics - an extremely exciting area that will become increasingly relevant in the future and has long since gained our focus. Today better than yesterday and tomorrow better than today! We will never stop challenging our status quo and that of the world.

Together for a waste-free world. Were building a tech platform with a strong mission. We use IT and smart logistics to connect the business waste from organisations with circular processors, waste collectors and transporters - to find sustainable solutions for processing business waste, and work together towards a circular economy. Our technology finds the most efficient route and most sustainable processor to give business waste a second life. From paper-cardboard, PMD, pallets to used coffee grounds - organisations add a waste stream on our easy-to-use app in 1 click, and well match it with the right transporters and processors. No match? Then well try to find an existing route to transport the waste to a processor. Less traffic, lower CO2 emissions, a more sustainable planet!

Alpha3D isn’t just building a product - we’re rewriting the rules of 3D content creation. We’re in the midst of a once-in-a-generation platform shift, where digital experiences are becoming spatial, immersive, and AI-driven. But 3D creation is still stuck in the past: slow, manual, fragmented, and fundamentally unscalable. That’s the crack in the foundation and Alpha3D is stepping straight through it. Our platform transforms simple inputs - text, images, rough assets into fully usable, customizable 3D scenes and models. Instantly. No templates. No gimmicks. Just a full generative engine that turns imagination into interactive content, ready for real-world use across gaming, XR, e-commerce, digital twins, and beyond. While others tinker with tools, we’re building infrastructure. While competitors rely on third-party datasets, we’ve built a proprietary, AI-native dataset with millions of structured assets and a roadmap to 100 million by 2026. Every object, every remix, every prompt becomes data that trains our models, sharpens our output, and tightens our feedback loop. That’s our moat and it grows with every click. We’ve already reached over 600K users without spending a cent on paid marketing. Enterprise partners are lining up for early API access. And our platform evolves daily through real-time creator feedback, telemetry, and Moonlander-powered model refinement. While others are building workflows, we’re building the AI brain of the 3D web. By the time most companies catch up, we’ll already be there - training the models, owning the data, and powering the platforms they’re trying to build on. This isn’t just a bet on 3D. It’s a bet on the future of the internet.
