ICUnet

What ICUnet does

ICUnet.Group is a Passau-headquartered, founder-led enterprise consultancy (legal entity ICUnet.AG) founded in 2001 by Dr. Fritz Audebert, specializing in global talent management, intercultural qualification, and global mobility services for large multinational corporations. Its offerings span professional services — intercultural training and coaching, expatriate and relocation management, DE&I and 'New Work' consulting — alongside the proprietary IND® (Intelligent New Destination) digital ecosystem, which functions as a Global Workforce Management System covering workflow automation, compliance, and stakeholder coordination for international assignments. The IND® suite is complemented by modular products including the Work From Anywhere Assistant, Business Travel Compliance Manager, Intercultural Assessment Tools, and the Learnhub e-learning platform.

The company generates revenue through a hybrid model: quote-based enterprise consulting and training engagements alongside recurring license/subscription fees on IND® and Learnhub. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales into HR, mobility and talent leadership at multinationals, augmented by strategic integrations with KPMG LINK (technology partnership) and EY (implementation partnership), plus content marketing, awards-driven PR, and a testimonial-rich case-study library. The company employs a multicultural team drawn from more than 40 nations, operates roughly 20 offices worldwide with stated expertise for 75 countries, and serves a customer base dominated by German and European industrial multinationals (e.g., Allianz, AUDI, BMW, Volkswagen, thyssenkrupp, Evonik, Deutsche Post DHL, Boehringer Ingelheim, ZEISS).
