10 Years Ago, EXIST Made emmtrix Possible
October 02, 2025
In August 2015, while we were still employed at KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and emmtrix existed only as a research concept with no company behind it yet, we received support from the EXIST Forschungstransfer program of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.Europe
EXIST Forschungstransfer supports research-based spin-offs on their way to the market – and for us, it marked the decisive transition from academic research to entrepreneurship. As part of the EXIST program, we not only received the necessary funding to bring the results of the European research project ALMA (Automatic Parallelization for Multicore Architectures) into practice, but also founded emmtrix Technologies GmbH in January 2016.
Since then, our journey has taken us from research prototypes to innovative tools for performance estimation, dependency analysis, and automated code optimization – solutions that today support the automotive and aerospace industries.
A very big thank you to EXIST – and to all the colleagues, mentors, partners, and supporters who helped us along the way. Without this support, there would be no emmtrix Technologies today.
Here’s to the next decade of innovation!
