Your buyers already make purchasing decisions in Claude, ChatGPT, and similar tools. Revenue is shifting to a channel you cannot measure.

You do not know whether AI recommends you for purchase-related questions. The pipeline created there passes you by unnoticed.

You do not know how to influence these recommendations and use them to increase revenue.

VoiceLine is the field intelligence platform for sales and service teams, turning every customer conversation into structured market and competitor insights.

voiceline.ai

Today

Your field sales team hears what is happening in the market every day, but management never learns about it.

RSConnect

RSConnect connects production machinery with databases, MES, and ERP. The manufacturing site becomes more efficient, and investment needs can be justified using real data.

rsconnect.de

Today

Machines operate in isolation, without connection to IT. Data is often not collected at all or is gathered manually.

Machine energy consumption remains invisible, making it impossible to allocate energy costs to individual products.

Every new software solution brings its own technology or hardware, often creating a patchwork of obsolete systems.

Machines report the same data in different formats or cannot be compared because their processes differ.

With RSConnect

Machines report production status and results to different IT systems fully automatically.

Idle consumption is identified so immediate measures can save energy. Product costs can be calculated and effective controlling becomes possible.

We use existing technology and work with your technicians to develop the best utilization concept. This saves money and, above all, resources.

We do more than read your orders, delivery notes, or technical drawings. Every month, we post transactions worth millions directly to your ERP system.

cwo.de

Today

Your orders arrive as emails, PDFs, photos, XML files, or drawings.

Every order is checked by hand and entered into the ERP system, while items are searched for and attachments stored manually.

This ties up your staff and does not scale: at present, more revenue simply means more staff.

At night, on weekends, or during vacations, every order waits until someone is back at their desk.

With CWO

At least 80% of your orders are posted fully automatically and can be produced around the clock.

SAP Business One and other ERP systems are already connected to CWO via standard interfaces.

Unclear orders are marked in yellow, the AI identifies inconsistencies, and a draft is posted to the ERP system.

Cyberlope

Cyberlope secures connected products, from development to operation.

cyberlope.eu

Today

The EU Cyber Resilience Act makes cybersecurity a central requirement for manufacturers of connected products such as agricultural machinery.

Cybersecurity risk assessments are now mandatory, but they are often created manually in Excel on a project-by-project basis.

Security knowledge is lost between projects and product generations, creating unnecessary additional work.

Risk assessments often serve only compliance purposes and provide little value for product development.

With Cyberlope

AI-supported assistants significantly reduce the effort required to create and continuously maintain cybersecurity risk assessments.

Security knowledge is reused across product generations and continuously expanded.

The risk assessment provides specific recommendations for better and more secure product decisions.

Compliance is achieved as the result of a continuous development process rather than as an additional documentation burden.

The easy-to-use solution also supports vulnerability and supplier management.

IronFlock

IronFlock makes machine data usable for people and AI, in days instead of months.

ironflock.com

Today

Machine data is scattered across controllers and isolated solutions, and only a few specialists can analyze it.

When faults and downtime occur, root-cause analysis takes hours or days as teams search logs and gather data manually.

Dashboards, alarms, and analyses become separate IT projects involving integrators, budgets, and long lead times.

Remote maintenance relies on cumbersome VPN setups that are difficult to configure and hard to audit.

With IronFlock

Employees chat directly with machine data via AI, reducing incident analysis times to minutes instead of days.

Alarms and real-time dashboards work out of the box, with no programming required.

Ready-made apps from the app store or custom AI workflows are rolled out across the entire machine fleet at the push of a button.

Secure remote access without VPNs or open ports, with every session fully logged and auditable.

onu energy

Strategies for secure and cost-effective energy procurement in volatile times.

onuenergy.com

Today

Procurement decisions are made manually, based on gut instinct, Excel, and occasional market reports.

Energy prices are rarely monitored systematically, so favorable purchasing opportunities are missed.

Risk management and hedging require expensive expertise or external consultants.

There is no transparency on costs, consumption, or procurement status, and reporting is labor-intensive and delayed.

With onu energy

The AI autopilot analyzes energy markets in real time and provides concrete procurement recommendations, fully automated and around the clock.

Companies purchase energy at the right time and demonstrably reduce their energy costs.

Risks are detected and managed automatically, without external consultants or in-house energy-market expertise.

All energy data, costs, and decisions are transparently available in one dashboard at any time and for every stakeholder.

The FMEA does not keep pace with design changes.

Integration defects are hard to trace back to their cause.

The knowledge of experienced colleagues sits with people, not with components.

RCo-Energie

Align your energy purchasing with a target price instead of buying on a fixed date in the calendar.

rco-energie.de

Energy is purchased on a fixed date in the calendar.

Where the market stands is unclear at the moment of the decision.

Whether the price was good only becomes clear afterwards.

Checking invoices costs time and is done by hand.

Conlio

Conlio uses AI to process and check freight documents, then automates transport approval and billing based on the results.

conlio.com

Today

Bills of lading, delivery notes, pallet slips, and invoices arrive in many different formats and are reviewed manually.

Data and documents are checked against order data and agreed terms by hand for every transport, which takes a great deal of time.

Missing documents and discrepancies are identified late or not at all, leading to questions, corrections, and delayed billing.

Without structured data, there is no clear overview of costs, discrepancies, and patterns, making informed management almost impossible.

With Conlio

Relevant data and documents are automatically read and processed using AI, regardless of their format or sender.

Every transport is automatically checked against order data and agreed terms, making completeness and accuracy transparent.

Based on this verified information, the entire billing process is automated—as an invoice or credit note—making it much faster and more reliable.

Over time, the structured data provides complete transparency on costs and discrepancies as a basis for informed decisions and further optimization.

After the demo

See first, talk after. The teams remain available all day. During the lunch break and networking, you speak directly with the people who built the solution.

And you set the pace. The attendee list is not public; contact only occurs where you want it. No follow-up without your approval.

Five sentences.
If three apply, the day is worthwhile.

Attending a trade fair costs you a workday. Therefore, an honest check before you book, check what applies to your business.

  • 01

    What can I expect at the fair?

    Each startup gets a 20-minute demo slot on one of the four stages and demonstrates its solution in the way you can evaluate it best: on a live system, on the machine, or using a real customer case. No pitch competition, no slide battles. You decide afterwards whom you want to talk to; follow-ups only happen with your active approval.
  • 02

    How does the daily schedule work?

    Admission starts at 09:00 AM, welcome address at 09:45 AM. From 10:00 AM, the program runs in parallel on three stages, with the food stage added at 10:20 AM in the morning. The morning session runs until 12:00 PM, followed by a lunch break until 01:00 PM. There is a coffee break at 02:20 PM, and the final block runs from 03:00 PM to 04:00 PM. Afterwards, open networking until 07:00 PM. Each stage has its own main topic per block, so you can specifically attend the time slot that fits your business.

  • 03

    Can I stay all day?

    Yes, food and drinks are provided.
  • 04

    How do I get there?

    Seedhouse is located in Osnabrück's old town, a 10-minute walk from the main train station. Parking is available in the Ledenhof parking garage. Directions and hotel recommendations will be sent two weeks before the event.
  • 05

    What exactly is a “startup” in this context?

    Young technology companies with a solution that is no longer in the prototype stage. Important, the companies presenting at Innovate Mittelstand already have customers like you. No research projects, no ideas on paper. What is on stage is already running today in a Mittelstand business.
  • 06

    Who selects the startups?

    The Seedhouse team. The criterion is not the loudest story, but a solution that is already running with several customers and can be clearly demonstrated on stage.
  • 07

    Do I have to publicly display my company or my name?

    No. The attendee list is not public. You only share your business card or contact information where you choose to. Name badges are required for entry but will not be published or shared.
  • 08

    Until when can I book tickets?

    There is no registration deadline; tickets can be booked as long as seats are available. The day ticket costs €199 including 19% VAT, which includes access to all four stages, breakfast, lunch buffet, drinks, and networking.

    Can I transfer my ticket?

    Yes, free of charge via email up to 3 days before the event. Simply send new contact details, and we will update them.
  • 10

    Applying as a startup, what are the criteria?
