Thinkport emerged from a clear insight: established German enterprises were struggling to bridge the gap between traditional IT systems and the cloud-native future. While Silicon Valley companies were harnessing the power of AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to build scalable, event-driven architectures, European organizations - particularly in regulated industries like finance, logistics, and retail - were falling behind. Founded in 2018 by Dominik Fries and Tobias Drechsel, Thinkport set out to change this by bringing Silicon Valley technologies to established German enterprises, helping them achieve genuine digital transformation rather than mere cloud migration.
Today, Thinkport has evolved into one of Germany's fastest-growing cloud consultancies, with nearly 50 experts across Frankfurt, Leipzig, Hamburg, and Berlin. The company's approach combines deep technical expertise - spanning cloud infrastructure, event streaming platforms, data & AI, and DevOps - with strategic business understanding. They don't just migrate systems; they help clients like Deutsche Bahn, Commerzbank, Bayer, and EDEKA build cloud-native platforms that drive real business outcomes. As part of the Venitus Group since 2023, Thinkport continues to expand its mission of architecting trusted cloud solutions for a sovereign Europe, balancing cutting-edge technology with the security, compliance, and digital sovereignty requirements that European enterprises demand.
