CLOUDSUPPLIES wins at Startup-Champs Germany 2025
Hamburg secured the title at Startup-Champs Germany, the competition between Germany's four most important startup cities. It went to CLOUDSUPPLIES for an AI platform that takes over routine IT tasks. Among other things, the victory comes with a grant of 300,000 euros. The pitch took place as part of the STARTUPLAND conference in Cologne.
AI was the theme of Startup-Champs Germany 2025
The competition, which was held for the sixth time this year, had the motto “Startup-Champs goes AI” and sought business models that incorporate artificial intelligence for the B2B sector. The four participating cities each sent three startups to the final, which took place as part of the STARTUPLAND conference at Cologne's RheinEnergieStadion. Four regional winners were chosen: INES Analytics for Berlin, JessyWorks for Munich, RiskAI for Cologne, and CLOUDSUPPLIES again for Hamburg. They all received tickets to the ChefTreff in Hamburg and Slush in Helsinki, both in 2026, as well as an annual membership to bulb, the startup consultancy of the AGA business association. Additional prizes were provided by the respective savings banks.
CLOUDSUPPLIES secures Hamburg's second victory in a row
The overall winner, CLOUDSUPPLIES, also received a funding commitment of 300,000 euro from the xdeck Fund I, subject to a positive due diligence review. In addition, it will receive executive coaching from Microsoft and access to the software company's AI Leadership Circle. In an internal competition, CLOUDSUPPLIES prevailed over Aurelytix, whose solution targets the financial sector, and the AI platform mAI. Last year, Parto, a payment solution for social and care facilities, already brought the title to Hamburg. This year's decision was made by a four-member jury, with one representative from each of the participating cities. Dr. John Lange from AI.FUND represented Hamburg.
