Our mission

What drives our research?

01
AI for the future

We research for the future viability of our partners

  • We conduct cutting-edge research to develop new solutions to unsolved problems with our partners and customers
  • Horizontal application of machine learning in real-world challenges from all sectors of business and society.
02
The potential of data

We open up unlabeled data with methodology

  • Impactful research outcomes through a combination of data-centric approaches and methodological excellence
  • Integrate results into established and emerging systems through experience in scaling and operationalizing AI
Our approach

First-class research is created in partnership.

In all our research projects, we deal with state-of-the-art machine learning methods and apply them agnostically in all relevant application areas. During the operational project phase, we staff the projects with a diverse team of experts in research, machine learning engineering, and project management.

As industry-independent developers, we strive to develop generalizable methods that we can easily apply in other domains. We leverage our broad background in methodologies and industries to quickly adapt and deliver meaningful results for new challenges.
At Merantix Momentum, we initiate and participate in a variety of collaborative partnerships across different sectors and funding programs. Our dedicated research management team has more than 30 years of experience in designing and managing research projects, with a particular focus on German and EU-funded collaborative research projects.

We carefully tailor our engagement with a new research project by considering its unique challenge and all partners involved. Our team is able to establish effective consortia and create compelling proposal documents that ensure successful project funding.
We see collaboration as the foundation for our success. As part of the AI Campus ecosystem in Berlin, connecting bright minds and new ideas is essential to our identity. This self-image as an innovative and forward-looking team player is also reflected in the campus, which is an ideal place for stimulating project meetings and inspiring events.

Our goal is to contribute to the scientific community by publishing our results in research papers and presenting them at conferences. The driving motivation here is always to generate added value for the entire research community and thus advance research in AI and machine learning as a whole.
Our research projects

What we are currently working on

Our research pushes boundaries. We bring our excellence in machine learning to pioneering projects that span all industrial domains to solve real-world challenges.

In our partnerships, we explore breakthrough solutions, discover new approaches, and apply them to known and emerging domains. We create the conditions for transformative research.
