📅 Founding year: 2020

🏭 Industry: Edge AI / IoT — distributed infrastructure orchestration for Industry 4.0 and smart critical infrastructure.

💥 Problem: By 2030, the number of connected IoT devices worldwide could reach ~39 billion, generating exploding volumes of data outside traditional data centers (factories, logistics networks, critical infrastructure). Organizations struggle to securely manage, monitor, and scale this distributed edge/IoT infrastructure — and to move from pilot projects to full production deployments.

📣 Solution: CTHINGS.CO's Orchestra Platform lets organizations remotely manage devices, applications, and data across their IoT ecosystem, automate operations, and secure everything under a Zero Trust model — helping them go from proof-of-concept to production at scale.

👥 Customers: Enterprises and integrators in logistics, energy, Industry 4.0, and smart critical infrastructure, plus telecom operators looking to monetize 5G/IoT services (existing partners include ASUS IoT, Deutsche Telekom, and Wirepas).

🎳 Team size: 11–50 employees

💰 Investment amount: €1.8 million

🌱 Stage: Seed

🚀 Funded by: Navivo Capital, specifically the new Navivo Capital Poland fund (PFR-backed, focused on AI, robotics, and medical technologies).
