We are making buildings part of the solution for a livable planet.
Therefore we create outstanding solutions for improving building performance and scale them – customer by customer and building after building.
That´s why we are the most sensible solution for optimal building performance in tomorrow's energy system.
Our roots are in research. We work with the latest findings from science and are experts in our field. We implement the latest technologies in our software to get the best out of it for our customers.
We are committed to a future worth living and are convinced that we can make a climate-positive contribution with modern technology. That's why we focus on sustainability in our solutions, services and everyday work.
No matter how long the journey, we make sure it works. Our customers always know where they can count on us. We state clearly what is feasible and don't promise anything we can't deliver.
We burn for what we do and are never satisfied with the very first solution. An enthusiasm that is also felt by our customers.
aedifion GmbH was founded in September 2017 out of a research project at RWTH Aachen University by Dr.-Ing. Johannes Fütterer, Felix Dorner, Dr. Jan Henrik Ziegeldorf and Erik Brümmendorf.
In 2018 we have transferred the findings of our research into a market-ready product and were able to convince the first customers of our software.
With aedifion.analytics we were launching AI-based analytics in 2019 for the first time, making expert engineering knowledge accessible to our customers via the platform.
With the launch of aedifion.controls in 2021, we created the first complete solution for a Net Zero building operation in the German market.
In our Series A round, we were able to attract exciting investors for us and our solution at the beginning of 2023. With the fresh capital, we are expanding our product offering and aim to become the European market leader.
What started with four creative minds is now a company with over 90 employees who take care of the secure and innovation-driven operation of the platform as well as all services. More than 400 projects show that the aedifion story is a success story.
We always have our finger on the pulse of the times and are constantly on the lookout for forward-looking trends and technological innovations that will help our customers get ahead. That is why we are involved in several federal research projects.
We want to actively shape the energy system of the future and drive new innovations. That's why we incorporate innovations and the latest findings into our solutions to make buildings an active part of the energy transition.
We have our origins in science, it is second nature to us. After years of preliminary work at RWTH Aachen University, we were able to bring our vision in the shape of the cloud platform from research to the market with the help of the Exist research transfer.
