prenode GmbH

About

At prenode, we believe that industrial expertise is the most valuable asset in Germany - and we're on a mission to make it scalable. Founded as a spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in 2018, our team builds robust, scalable, and decentralized AI systems that bridge the gap between shopfloor (OT) and cloud (IT). We believe every team member should act like an entrepreneur: you'll enjoy flat hierarchies, genuine autonomy, and the freedom to drive real impact. Our culture thrives on innovation - not as a buzzword, but as the combination of idea, implementation, and actual value. When you join prenode, you're part of an interdisciplinary team that learns faster than competitors, treats each other with respect, and focuses on what truly matters: transforming industrial expertise into scalable digital solutions.

We partner with leading manufacturers and operators across mechanical and plant engineering to deliver practical AI and IIoT solutions. Our approach emphasizes hands-on collaboration - from potential workshops through proofs of concept to managed operations. We've been recognized as a top AI startup multiple times and are proud members of the German AI Association. But what really drives us is seeing our solutions create tangible value: enabling Equipment-as-a-Service models for TRUMPF, implementing predictive maintenance for WEISSER precision machines, or automating chip detection for Watts Industries. If you're excited about solving complex industrial challenges with cutting-edge technology while working in a culture that values ownership, continuous learning, and mutual support, you'll fit right in.

Contabo GmbH

In 2003, our founders recognized a gap in the hosting market: while enterprise solutions existed, affordable, high-performance servers remained out of reach for most developers and small businesses. Starting with just three webspace and two dedicated server offers under the name Giga-International, they built something different - a hosting provider that combined enterprise-grade performance with pricing that actually made sense. That insight sparked a transformation from a small German operation into Contabo, now serving over 200,000 customers across 190+ countries with 12 data centers worldwide. Today, Contabo stands as a leading cloud service provider that proves performance and affordability aren't mutually exclusive. Our Cloud VPS and dedicated servers power everything from personal projects to enterprise workloads, backed by AMD CPUs, NVMe storage, and 99.996% uptime. But the real story isn't just in our technology - it's in our philosophy. We believe powerful infrastructure should be accessible to everyone, whether you're deploying your first server or scaling to datacenter-grade operations. With remote-first culture and a team that spans continents, we're building the infrastructure that powers the next generation of digital innovation.
