Redlink

What Redlink does

Redlink GmbH is a Salzburg-based digital solutions company founded in 2013 that builds customized enterprise search, linked-data integration, and LLM-powered digital agent solutions for clients across the DACH region. Its core technical offerings rest on three pillars: Search Solutions that combine Apache Solr and Elasticsearch with vector and semantic search; Data Integration via RDF-based knowledge graphs and ontologies; and Digital Agents implemented through Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures using models such as BERT and StanfordNLP. The firm also maintains open-source products including the MORE digital-health research platform and the MeLODy chatbot developed with the Statistics Office of the City of Zurich.

The company operates a consulting-led, sales-driven go-to-market, guiding prospects through a structured six-stage process from 45-minute discovery sessions through half-day workshops, 2–4 week demonstrators, 3–6 month MVPs, and into agile long-term partnerships with separate annual maintenance contracts. Revenue is generated primarily through custom software development billed on Time & Material or fixed Sprint Pauschale (flat-rate per sprint) bases, supplemented by subscription maintenance contracts and standalone consulting engagements. Customers include high-profile enterprises and institutions such as ORF, Red Bull Mediahouse, Deutsche Bahn, the World Health Organization, the Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft, and the Statistics Office of the City of Zurich.

A defining feature of the business is its dual focus on commercial delivery and publicly-funded research, with active participation in five R&D projects between 2020 and 2027 (TailoredMedia, MORE, WordliftNG, FAIRmedia, Prehab2Rehab) financed by BMK, FFG, and Eurostars/Eureka H2020. This research arm functions both as a thought-leadership channel and as a pipeline for new commercial engagements. The firm remains privately held and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding, and is led by founder-CEO Dr. Thomas Kurz alongside CTO Jakob Frank and a team of approximately 16 specialists.
