Dedicated programs that turn our venture building capability into repeatable, high-impact action. mantro's activities are where our platform becomes concrete. Each activity is a dedicated program — designed for a specific type of challenge, running on the infrastructure of the Golden Triangle.
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.
Vantix takes the AI & robotics project off your desk — a brutal production economics diagnostic, a curated view of what's actually maturing in 2026, and full execution on your shop floor.
Three phases, one outcome: Diagnostic → Blueprint + Sourcing → Implementation. Better pricing through direct vendor relationships, a clear SaaS/PaaS commercial model, 35–70 % grant cost offset. We carry the execution until the line runs.
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.
Brilliant technology from universities and research institutes shouldn't die between the lab and the market. Technology Transfer is mantro's structured pathway to turn world-class research into investable deep tech ventures — at zero cost to the institution.
We've built — and we're actively expanding — an international Technology Transfer network across Europe, Asia, and North America. Each engagement is funded by mantro and the Regional Innovation Trust. Each venture launches with majority founder ownership, a real building team, and Talos Capital as first check when the thesis fits.
Many universities have world-class research but no working technology transfer office. Venture Studios is mantro's response: we set up and operate the institutional infrastructure — governance, fund management, and the operating team — that lets an institution run technology transfer at scale.
Each studio is a full TTO-as-a-service setup: institutional governance, IP-to-equity pathways, a dedicated seed fund, and the operating team that turns research into companies. mantro designs and runs the studio while the institution keeps strategic ownership. Venture Studios builds on top of our Technology Transfer activity — same building muscle, wrapped in institutional structure.
Alterion is our response to a new global reality: defense capability is now part of societal resilience.
Together with Strama MPS and TH Deggendorf, we have built a platform that helps startups, SMEs and innovators enter the defense and civil protection space – especially with technologies from logistics, robotics, communication, automation and infrastructure sectors.
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.
Talos Capital is a Seed and Series A venture fund focused on AI-driven automation and autonomy. We back companies whose AI is embedded in mission-critical enterprise workflows — not glued onto them.
We source globally — across the US, Europe, Israel, CEE and Eurasia — and combine technical depth with mantro's company-building experience. Talos is a venture fund, not a venture studio. Talos is currently in incorporation.
