ORAI Solutions
The two founders of ORAI Solutions each have five years’ experience in SAP consultancy. As a result, they understand the challenges faced by the software giant’s clients who wish to make the move to the cloud and integrate AI into their day-to-day work. Their solution is a platform that can support decision-making through access to knowledge and task automation. Additionally, they provide personalised consultancy. This comprehensive package has earned them a place in the InnoFounder programme.

Magnexion
Magnexion, a startup founded in 2024, has set itself the goal of providing miniaturised sensor solutions for wireless monitoring and diagnosis in medical and industrial applications. One potential area of application is the treatment of stomach and intestinal disorders. Using magnetic technology, it can locate even the smallest objects – a method that is significantly less harmful to health than, for example, X-rays. Funding from InnoRampUp is intended to further advance Magnexikon’s development.

“Women make 80 per cent of all everyday purchasing decisions and will control a global spending volume of 34 trillion US dollars by 2030,” writes WHERA on its website. The startup, which is supported by the InnoFinTech programme, now aims to create a platform that ensures as much of this money as possible flows to women-led businesses. A customer loyalty programme is intended to serve as an additional incentive, linking every purchase to a contribution towards wealth-building. The launch is planned for autumn 2026.

Aurelytix
Aurelytix has also received an InnoFinTech funding. Here, artificial intelligence ensures that small and medium-sized enterprises receive a real-time overview of their entire financial situation. The information required for this is often spread across multiple systems, making it difficult to contextualise and organise. Aurelytix provides clarity with software that is GDPR-compliant and is supposed to be implemented within 48 hours.
