For corporates building new businesses

  • NEO

    Co-creation with strategy partners. Strategic clarity meets venture execution.

    neo is a joint initiative by IMP and mantro – and a direct response to one of the biggest blockers in innovation: the disconnect between strategic thinking and actual execution.

    With neo, we combine Open Strategy principles with a cross-functional venture team. Leaders, experts and builders work side by side – collaboratively shaping new business opportunities and executing them with shared ownership.

For technologies becoming independent companies

  • Carve-Out Factory

    Spinning out corporate technologies into investable ventures.

    Many companies sit on valuable technologies, services or business units that don't align with their core focus – but could become powerful businesses on their own.

    Our Carve-Out Factory helps identify, extract and build these into standalone ventures. We take care of business logic, product architecture, branding, team, and market launch – and support further investment or handover options.

  • Venture Studios

    Building venture creation infrastructure for research institutions.

    Our Venture Studios bring structure and repeatability to early-stage company creation in science-based innovation.

    Each studio is built near a major innovation hub – such as a university, tech cluster or research institute – and combines a dedicated seed fund with access to mantro's full venture infrastructure. Together with local partners, we identify promising technologies, shape founding teams, and build operationally independent, scalable companies.

For sector-specific challenges

  • Alterion

    Unlocking dual-use potential from civilian technologies.

    Alterion is our response to a new global reality: defense capability is now part of societal resilience.

    Alterion offers a structured pathway to turn civilian tech into Dual Use solutions. It's not about weapons – it's about enabling sovereign systems through existing innovation.
