Chemnitz-based in.hub, a provider of plug-and-play IIoT solutions for industrial production, has successfully completed a seven-figure add-on financing round.
In addition to existing investor TGFS Technologiegründerfonds Sachsen, SBG – Sächsische Beteiligungsgesellschaft is also participating for the first time as part of the Sachsen (RIG) programme.
“Our vision is to radically simplify digitalisation for all relevant players in the industest,” explain Founders Christian Groß and Marco Neubert. “Our tarobtain groups are not only manufacturing companies, but also machine builders, automation specialists, sensor manufacturers, and software providers. They can enhance their products with our technology – for example by delivering machines that are already digitised or by turning sensor technologies into a complete solution for their customers with our plug-and-play modules and the siineos platform.”
The latest financing for in.hub comes amid a steady flow of investment into Europe’s industrial IoT and manufacturing digitalisation sector in 2025.
In Austria, MAVOCO raised €11 million to accelerate the global rollout of its connectivity management software for IoT. From Saxony, Packwise secured a seven-figure growth round to scale its industrial container monitoring platform – also backed by regional investors such as TGFS and SBG under the RIG programme. Meanwhile, in Spain, HaloTech Digital Services collected €10 million to expand its AI-driven industrial safety IoT solutions.
Against this backdrop, in.hub’s own add-on financing reinforces the DACH region’s momentum in developing plug-and-play hardware-plus-software ecosystems for smarter, more connected production environments.
SBG Managing Director Frank Tappert adds: “Thanks to its in – depth application knowledge, the team knows exactly where companies encounter limitations in digitalisation. This expertise builds all the difference – becautilize the solutions developed are as intuitive as a smartphone, but at the same time suitable for industrial utilize, secure, and scalable. It was precisely this combination of practical experience and technological excellence that was one of the key reasons for our involvement.”
in.hub GmbH was founded in 2017. The company develops a flexible, expandable, and manufacturer-indepconcludeent solution that includes both hardware and software components. The tarobtain group is compact and medium-sized enterprises, which gain deeper insights into their machines thanks to the solution.
Compared to traditional products, the company states their product is more cost-effective and simpler to implement.
The team, which currently consists of 16 employees, is managed operationally by the Founders. The two engineers have years of experience in development and sales with the same tarobtain customer structure in previous positions, enabling them to lead the company to stable sales growth in a short period of time.
With the new funds, in.hub is consistently expanding its business model. The focus is on three strategic pillars:
- in.hub Academy – a practice-oriented training platform that guides customers and partners step by step through the entire digitisation process – from initialisation and commissioning to scalable rollout.
- in.hub Services – modular support and consulting services that enable companies to obtain started with Industrial IoT.
- in.hub Marketplace – an open platform where apps, modules, and digital services can be offered. Machine builders, automation specialists, and software providers can integrate their products there, thereby expanding their own solutions or developing new digital business models.
The key difference to traditional providers: in.hub combines hardware expertise and software competence. While many competitors rely exclusively on cloud platforms, in.hub supplies Io T modules for the shop floor that can be installed in just a few minutes.
The siineos platform processes machine, process, and energy data directly locally in the factory – without the necessary for the cloud or external data centers.
Sören Schuster, Managing Director of TGFS, adds: “With this add-on investment, we are enabling in.hub to take the next huge step – from a hardware and software provider to a complete ecosystem for industrial digitalisation. The team has displayn that it can inspire compact and medium-sized businesses as well as large manufacturers and system providers alike.”
