HOW WE WORK
Creating something new together
We bring together the challenges of the SME sector with existing technologies in the field of artificial intelligence to create solutions that can be marketed worldwide.
Together with our partners, we are creating the next digital hidden champions.
LEARN MOREWhat drives us
“We believe that SMEs are still international process champions, but on their own cannot build up the necessary digital execution expertise fast enough to keep up with global competition.
However, we do not believe in a new Google or Facebook. Our Google or Facebook are the SMEs with whom we develop premium digital products that occupy international niches and thus become the next hidden champions.
This way, we solve the “digital congestion” in SMEs on the one hand and drive Germany’s future international competitiveness at the same time.
Alexander Fridhi, CEO & Chairman of the Executive Board DDG AG
LETS TALK
COMPANY BUILDING WITH DDG
Entrepreneurial partnership at eye level
For us, the starting point for the development of new products and services is always real use cases from the everyday work of small and medium-sized enterprises. Therefore we are always looking for partners who tell us about their challenges and ideas and have the courage to create something new together.
We also see ourselves as a platform for our medium-sized partners, investors , technology experts, universitiesand research institutes and promote their respective networking efforts.LEARN MORE
We are 100% German Mittelstand
Not only do we work hand in hand with SMEs, but we also see ourselves as SMEs at eye level, speaking the same language. Proximity to medium-sized companies is therefore also important to us when selecting our investors, network partners and office locations.
We have our roots in Kaiserslautern, THE hidden champion location for artificial intelligence in Germany. And we are establishing ourselves with a steadily growing number of locations in other regions close to medium-sized companies.

From our management team, over our supervisory and expert advisory board up to the complete staff base – at DDG we think in terms of data and artificial intelligence, always act entrepreneurial and burn for digital innovation.
