What Minespider does
Minespider is a Berlin-based B2B technology company founded in 2018 that operates a blockchain-anchored traceability platform for industrial supply chains. Its core product surface consists of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) and Digital Battery Passports — persistent, QR-coded digital records that carry technical, sustainability, and provenance data from raw materials through to finished products. The platform uses a hybrid architecture that stores cryptographic hashes on a public-permissioned blockchain for immutability while keeping sensitive supply chain data off-chain, alongside modules for carbon emissions tracking, chain-of-custody due diligence, and an AI-assisted data extraction layer that populates passport fields from uploaded documents and flags compliance gaps. The company is registered as Minespider GmbH in Berlin and operates globally across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas.
The company monetizes primarily through enterprise SaaS subscriptions priced per passport and per tracked volume, supplemented by professional services for Battery Regulation Readiness assessments, data collection consultancy, and platform integration. Its customer base is concentrated in battery manufacturing and OEMs (Microvast, TEMSA, Renault, Ford Otosan), mining and metals (Minsur, Woodcross, LuNa Smelter, Sabi, Society Artisanal, Soft Metais), and adjacent verticals including diamonds (Star Diamond). Distribution is hybrid: direct enterprise sales combined with a network of regional channel and co-development partners — Tata Elxsi (MOBIUS+ platform, India), MineHub (global commodities), PTL (China), Thingspire (Korea), TETHYS (Turkey/Central Asia), Rare Earth Ventures (Australia), and Sabi (Africa) — that localize the platform and extend reach into regulated markets.
Strategic positioning leans heavily on Minespider's role as a regulatory-specialist supplier ahead of the EU Battery Regulation's February 2027 Battery Passport mandate, supported by participation in CEN-CENELEC standards work, the Global Battery Alliance, and over €32M of EU-funded research projects (BATRAW, Recirculate, RETURN). Recent product expansions include the MOBIUS+ battery lifecycle analytics platform (with Tata Elxsi), Recircle.market (an EV battery reuse/refurbishment marketplace launched February 2026), the Reggie regulatory assistant, and the Diamond Passport. Minespider is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and is recognized as a key player in the global battery passport market alongside Circulor, Siemens, and AVL.
