We help organizations to manage multi-dimensional challenges
Our Story: On the way to a global artificial intelligence champion
When we looked at the decision making landscape in organizations and observed that the available technologies and models were helping make decisions but with fixed cycles of information processing, running in batches, with little flexibility and agility. We saw products sacrificing usability for more features, deployment times of months and requiring days or weeks of training to get started.
We saw a gap between the consulting and technology paradigms and sensed the need for different standards. That is when we founded Innoplexus. Since then we are bringing innovation into decision-making processes and are driving digital transformation. In building intelligent applications we bring together Research, Engineering, UX-Design, and other experts to use machine learning and Artificial Intelligence to solve the toughest problems from curing cancer to predictive analytics. Recently we integrated Blockchain technology to add formerly unpublished (meta)data to our data ocean.
We are aiming to be the leading provider of Artificial Intelligence solutions and striving towards it day by day.

Corporate citizenship
At Innoplexus, we believe in giving back to the society by leveraging our strengths to the benefit of our local communities: sharing our knowledge, expertise and capabilities, and investing time in giving back to the communities in which we operate.
Innoplexus is guided by a deep commitment to good corporate citizenship through our employees’ donation of time and skills. We are supporting and encouraging our employees to volunteer at a wide range of organizations worldwide.

Innoplexus school
One of our projects is an early learning support in Pune. Innoplexus employees chose to promote excellence in education among children with emphasis on bridging gaps between various socio-economic groups towards academic and personal excellence with the long-term vision of their integration into higher education and advanced careers.
Innoplexus employees volunteer in a variety of activities to provide the children academic reinforcement and positive role modelling.
Innoplexus Knowledge Transfer for the Talents of Tomorrow
In the last couple of years, data science has continued to make rapid advances, particularly in the fields of machine learning and deep learning. It is predicted that the demand for data scientists and data engineers alone will grow by 39 percent until 2020. It is challenging to recruit people skilled at machine learning, big data, and data science, not only because of the limited talent available but also because of the rapidly evolving landscape.
Therefore, we at Innoplexus collaborate with the talents of tomorrow with an educational programme to encourage out of the box thinking. We have a cooperation with the Gymnasium Riedberg in Frankfurt, Germany. The bilingual school has a focus on natural sciences and languages. Innoplexus experts give virtual lessons in e.g. machine learning and insights into the practical application of cutting-edge AI technologies. This is a two-month programme, with 6 sessions of 1.5 hours each (total 9 hours), followed by an assignment/ minor project.
Membership in the German Association “Bundesverband für Künstliche Intelligenz”
With our membership in the German Association “Bundesverband für Künstliche Intelligenz”, we support the socially responsible use of AI technologies. Promoting research, development, and the implementation of humane AI technologies as well as educating society and industries on opportunities and risks play an important role.
