Tomorrow Things is a technology company.
Tomorrow Things develops Things OS, an intelligent automation platform creating digital twins of technical assets for industrial use. This platform delivers secure, standardized, and quality-assured machine data, forming the essential backbone for advanced AI applications within AI-driven factories. Their technology enables seamless integration and utilization of fragmented operational technology data.
Founded in 2023, Tomorrow Things was established by Oliver Habisch (CEO), Dr. Christian Dierolf (COO), and Ankur Srivastava (CTO), with Marcel Zimmerling also a co-founder and CDO. The founders identified a critical market need to structure and standardize machine data, insightfully unlocking AI's full potential in industrial environments for new automated processes.
The company targets industrial enterprises modernizing manufacturing with AI and advanced automation. Tomorrow Things envisions empowering factories to become fully AI-driven, using structured data to enhance efficiency, predictive maintenance, and operational intelligence. They aim to be a foundational component in the transition to more intelligent and autonomous industrial production systems.

Tomorrow Things GmbH is a German AI startup founded in 2023 that builds Things OS, an intelligent automation platform creating digital twins of technical assets like machines and equipment.[1][2][3][4][6] It serves manufacturers in production technology and IT, solving the problem of complex, error-prone, and costly manual integrations by using AI-generated "blueprints"—machine fingerprints—for one-click digitalization, data streaming, and interoperability.[1][3][4][5] This enables optimized production, predictive maintenance, reduced waste, and sustainability through plug-and-play connections to third-party AI apps, with up to 90% cost savings over alternatives.[4][5][6] Backed by €1.5M in seed funding from High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) since 2024, the company is based in North Rhine-Westphalia (Bonn) with 1-10 employees and early momentum in industrial IoT.[2][3][5]
Tomorrow Things was founded in 2023 by CEO and co-founder Oliver Habisch and a team with expertise in building digital twins and enhancing data quality for AI applications.[3][4][5] The idea emerged from the pain of time-consuming, manual machine onboarding to the industrial internet, which Habisch described as developing "the operating system for machines on the Internet" and an "AppStore for asset blueprints."[4][5][6] Early traction came via HTGF seed investment in 2024, validating their SaaS solution "Cloud Connect" (now Things OS) that automates blueprints for real-time data and simulations.[2][4][5] Pivotal moments include raising €1.5M in March 2024 to scale AI-driven digital twins, positioning them as a sales and integration accelerator in IoT.[5]
Tomorrow Things rides the industrial AI and digital twin wave in Industry 4.0, where real-time data from sensors and machines fuels generative AI for simulations, predictive maintenance, and optimization—critical as manufacturers face rising demands for efficiency and sustainability.[1][4][5][6] Timing aligns with IoT maturation and AI advancements, addressing integration bottlenecks that slow digitalization amid labor shortages and energy costs.[5] Market forces like HTGF's backing amplify their influence, unlocking untapped value via standardized data for edge AI control, reducing waste/downtime, and enabling an app ecosystem that democratizes industrial intelligence.[2][4][5]
Tomorrow Things is poised to expand Things OS as the backbone for AI factories, with next steps including AppStore rollout for third-party services and multi-site scaling to capture IoT growth.[4][5][6] Trends like edge AI, generative models for real-time optimization, and sustainability mandates will propel them, potentially evolving from digital twin builder to dominant industrial OS provider amid a projected $100B+ digital twin market.[1][6] Their blueprint innovation positions them to influence ecosystems by standardizing machine data, accelerating manufacturer adoption, and tying back to Habisch's vision of sustainable, efficient production at one click.[4][5]
Tomorrow Things has raised $2.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $2.0M Seed in March 2024.
