What statworx GmbH does

statworx GmbH is a Frankfurt am Main–headquartered, founder-owned consulting and development firm founded in 2011 that delivers data science, machine learning, and AI services to enterprise clients across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). The business is organized around four service pillars: Strategy & Consulting (AI roadmaps, technology selection, data architecture), Infrastructure & Engineering (data platforms, pipelines, lakehouse architectures built on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Databricks, Kubernetes, and Docker), Solutions & Development (custom AI applications spanning NLP, computer vision, predictive analytics, GenAI, and agentic workflows), and Trainings & Upskilling (AI Basics, AI for Leaders, and AI Act Compliance courses). The technology stack spans Python, R, TensorFlow, and PyTorch on the model side, with OpenAI and NVIDIA featured as core ecosystem partners.

Statworx monetizes primarily through project-based professional services engagements sold via direct enterprise field sales, backed by a content-led marketing funnel (blog, whitepapers, webinars, case studies, an annual AI Trends Report published with AI Hub Frankfurt, and CEO keynotes at venues including FAZ, Handelsblatt, DATEV, and Roche). Disclosed customer outcomes include a 90/100 NPS, 90% of projects delivered on time and on budget, and 100% recommendation rates. The firm bills predominantly on quote-based, multi-year service contracts with a 24-hour inquiry response commitment.

Beyond services, statworx is productizing portions of its delivery IP into standardized offerings: the CustomGPT Chatbot Platform (launched 2023), the AI Act Compliance Solution / statworx-act Quick Check tool (launched August 2024), the Data Lakehouse Suite, the Data Strategy Navigator, the AI Mail Assistant, and an AI Negotiation Agent.
