We create opportunities for technology beyond Siemens

DrimCo develops AI-based software to support companies in complex tendering processes. When STA became involved, strong internal AI capabilities were already in place, but there was no clear product-market fit, no defined business ownership, and no real path to commercialization beyond research. STA turned this project into a viable business. It worked closely with customers to identify where the technology creates real value, prioritized the most relevant use cases, and defined a concrete product and go-to-market approach. This also led to the first contracts with customers outside Siemens, demonstrating that the solution works in the market. In parallel, the necessary setup for scaling the business was put in place, including licensing and asset transfer. Today, DrimCo is a venture capital-backed AI company with real market traction. Siemens remains an anchor customer and leverages the solution to drive Polarion sales growth and expand its functionality.​

MetisMotion develops bionic‑inspired linear actuators for high‑performance motion applications. When STA stepped in, advanced actuator technology existed with proven applications inside and outside Siemens' core business, but with no clear ownership or commercialization path. STA assessed market and investor fit, structured the spin‑off and funding, and became shareholder of MetisMotion. The result is an innovative mechatronics start‑up enabled by external Venture Capital with Siemens amongst the first customers.

Creolytix provides SaaS‑based security and resilience services for threat intelligence and decision support. Before STA's engagement, an internal service showed strong external demand but lacked a scalable setup within Siemens. STA assessed market scalability, structured and executed the spin‑off, ramped up the initial customer pipeline, and managed the exit. The result is an independent security venture, now a Siemens supplier, acquired by a private equity‑backed market leader.​

TaXchain provides a blockchain platform for tax supplier declarations and proof of origin. At the time STA became involved, the platform required a scalable commercial owner and structured external commercialization. STA packaged the platform and IP, aligned with Siemens’ tax organization, identified and engaged potential buyers, structured the transaction, and established a revenue‑sharing mechanism. The result is a successful sale to an external tax technology provider with continued value participation for Siemens.

Printed sheet metal enables screen‑printed electrical sheets for rotors and stators used in electric motors. Prior to STA's involvement, Siemens’ industrial motor markets alone did not provide sufficient volume for economic industrialization. STA conducted feasibility analyses covering business modeling, investment planning, and performance simulation, identified potential buyers, and supported advanced due diligence with interested parties. Active buyer discussions are underway to bring the technology to industrial scale.​

EXIcodec provides standard‑compliant EXI encoding and decoding software for ISO 15118 communication in charging systems of electric vehicles. At the time STA became involved, the software was open source and widely used across Siemens units but without structured external monetization. STA identified target customers, defined inbound and outbound marketing, developed pricing, and executed licensing agreements. The result is a commercially licensed software component with multiple contracts in place for recurring revenue.​

Vilocify provides a vulnerability intelligence service addressing software and hardware exposure. When STA joined, an internal service existed without external go‑to‑market capabilities to test and scale paying customers. STA developed positioning, pricing, and sales materials, executed targeted outbound activities, enabled SaaS and trial contracting, and delivered a validated customer pipeline and playbook. The result is an externally validated service with signed customers and long‑term revenue potential, transferred into the Siemens organization.​

Green Digital Twin provides a SaaS solution for environmental impact calculations and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). When STA got involved, external marketing and sales capabilities were limited and business ownership unclear. STA tested the market potential by positioning the solution off-brand, building an external offering, driving digital marketing, and converting leads into contracts. The result is a validated market opportunity, supported by signed customer contracts and a qualified pipeline, enabling a transparent business decision.​
