What project: syntropy does

project: syntropy GmbH is a German specialist integrator founded in 2002 and headquartered in Magdeburg, Germany. The company designs and delivers projection- and dvLED-based visual systems for professional simulation, training, and media-based attraction applications, with a documented portfolio of more than 250 completed projects across aviation, automotive, defense, research, and entertainment end markets.

Its core technical stack spans immersive dome and fulldome projection systems (3.5 m to 50 m, up to 720° projection, 2k to 8k resolution), XR-CAVE environments, dvLED display and LED Volume virtual-production systems, proprietary auto-calibration and warp/blend tooling, and the SYNtouch RADAR laser-based contactless multitouch platform. The firm operates as the turnkey system integrator, combining proprietary hardware with third-party software (domeprojection.com/VIOSO, Dataton Watchout, Ventuz, VIRES, RTTrPM) to deliver certified environments such as Level D Full Flight Simulators (ADAC HEMS H145, REGA), driving simulators (BMW, Renault ROADS), the Eurofighter ASTA Full Mission Simulator for the Luftwaffe, and the Elbe Dome 2.0 mixed-reality laboratory for Fraunhofer IFF.

Revenue is generated through project-based turnkey visual system integration (professional services and hardware), supplemented by product sales of SYNtouch RADAR hardware and ongoing maintenance/support contracts. The go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise field sales, supported by a project-portfolio-driven marketing motion, presence at industry events, and regional offices in Göteborg, Singapore, and Riyadh. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based per project. The firm is privately held under German GmbH law, with no disclosed external funding or parent company.

Broad incumbents

• Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH: Industrial optics and projection systems supplier (Zeiss Velvet projectors) that served as a partner and general contractor with project: syntropy on Fraunhofer Elbe Dome 2.0 and EUROFIGHTER ASTA. Comparable in delivering high-end simulation projection solutions, but with a much broader optics and metrology portfolio.
• Barco: Global projection, LED and image processing company with dedicated simulation, training and virtual production product lines. Competes with project: syntropy as both a hardware supplier and integrator of large multi-channel visualization environments for flight/driving simulators and immersive venues.
• CAE: World-leading provider of full-flight simulators and integrated training solutions for civil aviation and defense. Is both a partner (CAE was general contractor on EUROFIGHTER ASTA where project: syntropy supplied the visual) and a competitor to project: syntropy in high-end simulation visual systems.
• Christie Digital Systems: Large established projection and visual display vendor supplying projectors, LED walls and complete visual solutions to simulation, training, virtual production and themed entertainment customers worldwide. Overlaps directly with project: syntropy's projection-based simulator and LED volume business but operates at far greater scale across many verticals.

Direct peers

Adjacent peer in projection auto-calibration and a core technology partner referenced across BMW, Renault, DLR, Fraunhofer, DFS and H145 deployments.
• Mechdyne: US integrator of CAVE, powerwall, VR and large-format visualization environments for engineering, research and training. Closely comparable to project: syntropy's XR-CAVE and immersive XR spaces product line in terms of use cases (digital twins, research, training) and turnkey integration model.
• Antycip Simulation: European value-added reseller and integrator of simulation visual systems, COTS displays, projectors and IG systems for flight, driving and maritime simulators. Closely comparable to project: syntropy in business model (specialist visual system integrator serving simulation customers) and target verticals.
• Simtec Systems GmbH: German provider of motion-based simulators and media-based attractions (HEXaFLITE motion systems), partner to project: syntropy on the Mercury Towers Malta Flying Theatre. Direct peer in flying theatres and turnkey immersive attractions for entertainment venues.
• Reiser Simulation und Training GmbH: German helicopter and fixed-wing simulator manufacturer with which project: syntropy partners on H145 Level D FFS programs for ADAC HEMS and NCCH Norway. Strong overlap on rotary-wing visual systems and certification-class training devices.
• AVS (Oktal / Sogeclair Aerospace): French driving simulation specialist (subsidiary of Sogeclair Aerospace) and Renault JV partner that contracted project: syntropy for the ROADS autonomous driving simulator visual. Direct peer in high-end automotive and ADAS simulation environments.
