in.hub GmbH, a leading provider of plug-and-play IIoT solutions for industrial production, has successfully completed a seven-figure add-on financing round. In addition to existing investor TGFS Technologiegründerfonds Sachsen, SBG – Sächsische Beteiligungsgesellschaft is also participating for the first time as part of the Innovationskapital Sachsen (RIG) program.

With the new funds, in.hub is consistently expanding its business model. The focus is on three strategic pillars:

• in.hub Academy – a practice-oriented training platform that guides customers and partners step by step through the entire digitization process – from initialization and commissioning to scalable rollout.
• in.hub Services – modular support and consulting services that enable companies to get started with Industrial IoT.
• in.hub Marketplace – an open platform where apps, modules, and digital services can be offered. Machine builders, automation specialists, and software providers can integrate their products there, thereby expanding their own solutions or developing new digital business models.

“Our vision is to radically simplify digitalization for all relevant players in the industry,” explain founders Christian Groß and Marco Neubert. “Our target groups are not only manufacturing companies, but also machine builders, automation specialists, sensor manufacturers, and software providers. They can enhance their products with our technology – for example by delivering machines that are already digitized or by turning sensor technologies into a complete solution for their customers with our plug-and-play modules and the siineos® platform.”

The team, which currently consists of 16 employees, is managed operationally by the founders. The two engineers have already gained many years of experience in development and sales with the same target customer structure in previous positions, enabling them to lead the company to stable sales growth in a short period of time. The key difference to traditional providers: in.hub combines hardware expertise and software competence. While many competitors rely exclusively on cloud platforms, in.hub supplies IoT modules for the shop floor that can be installed in just a few minutes. The siineos® platform processes machine, process, and energy data directly locally in the factory – without the need for the cloud or external data centers.

For the first time, Sächsische Beteiligungsgesellschaft (SBG) is also involved in this round. Funds from the German government’s Future Fund are being used from the RegioInnoGrowth (RIG) program, which are provided by Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) and Sächsische Aufbaubank (SAB). SBG Managing Director Frank Tappert explains: “Thanks to its in-depth application knowledge, the team knows exactly where companies encounter limitations in digitalization. This expertise makes all the difference – because the solutions developed are as intuitive as a smartphone, but at the same time suitable for industrial use, secure, and scalable. It was precisely this combination of practical experience and technological excellence that was one of the key reasons for our involvement.”

Sören Schuster, Managing Director of TGFS, adds: “With this add-on investment, we are enabling in.hub to take the next big step – from a hardware and software provider to a complete ecosystem for industrial digitalization. The team has shown that it can inspire small and medium-sized businesses as well as large manufacturers and system providers alike.”
