PAYUCA has set itself the goal of making off-street parking and charging as simple and efficient as possible. With the PAYUCA Smart Parking app, the company covers the short-term parking needs of more than 80,000 registered drivers at over 130 locations. With its park & e-charging management solutions for the property industry, PAYUCA focuses on classic residential buildings, office buildings and open spaces. Property owners and property managers can use our solutions to monetise their vacancies and easily manage their long-term parkers digitally, as well as enabling long-term parkers to charge their e-vehicles in the garage directly at the parking space. PAYUCA Park & Charge currently has 40 employees and over 60 reference customers in Germany and Austria.
PAYUCA digitises, electrifies and monetises garages as well as open spaces in residential and office buildings.
With the B2B product Smart Revenue, we enable owners to monetise their empty garage space via our PAYUCA Smart Parking app with over 80,000 users. These users can currently park in over 130 locations throughout Vienna and Berlin.
With the Smart Access product, property managers can manage their long-term parkers easily and digitally. The property manager of the building can easily invite new long-term parkers by email or mobile number within a few seconds and flexibly manage all access authorisations in real time. This reduces the time and effort involved in viewing, handing over and managing access media.
Smart Charging resolves the conflict of interest between owner and tenant, as PAYUCA has launched a simple and scalable solution that allows long-term parkers to charge their electric vehicle directly at their parking space by subscription. PAYUCA takes care of the planning and operation. The long-term parker receives access to a wallbox and the electricity for their vehicle via a subscription model.

Explore the platform for protein and drug discovery.
Innophore is a cutting-edge drug and enzyme discovery platform that uses an artificial intelligence guided point-cloud technology to identify and optimize protein candidates for various use cases. We have leading global customers in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, including Henkel, Continental, Merck and leading companies in the field of flavours and fragrances.
Our AI-driven platform, fueled by massive computing power, not only analyzes a protein’s 3D structure, but includes extended surface properties (HALOS) and volumetric cavities (catalophores), to predict its characteristics and reactivity. This puts our customers at the forefront of tackling problems in drug discovery/repurposing and opens new ways in the sustainable production of high-value compounds.
Accelerate your R&D pipeline.
Over the course of 20 years, protein structure database entries have grown from 13,587 to nearly a billion. This includes a recently published breakthrough database from DeepMind and the ESM Metagenomic Atlas. It is easy to get lost in the vast amount of bioinformatics information available to us today.
To identify new drug candidates or enzymes based on this vast amount of data, we need to change the way we search and go beyond traditional algorithms and data types. By integrating our patented CatalophoreTM technology with a state-of-the-art conventional bioinformatics approach, as well as artificial intelligence, we are able to mine structural and sequence databases using three-dimensional (3D) search templates called “catalophores” (i.e., carrier of the catalytic function) defined by point clouds of physicochemical features.
The Inventors of Catalophores.
Our CatalophoreTM platform improves your wet-lab performance by minimizing the volume of in-vitro screening experiments. Our in-silico approach significantly decreases time to market and increases the probability of your success.
