What we do

Research & Innovation

Moving forward by researching and innovating is no longer a luxury or a perk that distinguishes businesses from the competition, but a necessity to stay relevant. The technological revolution all around us has such an enormous capacity for change that landscapes deemed constant can easily become unrecognizable overnight. We generate ideas, we listen to ideas, and we combine these ideas to push us forward every dawn.

Building Prototypes (MVPs)

Enabling change and nurturing geniuses is both challenging and rewarding at the same time. Brave plans with the potential to ease or enrich people’s lives are born every second, yet few of them see the light of day outside the scrapbooks. We strive to make these designs come to life by the hands of our experts, while building up the confidence of all the creators around, because their work is never done. Prototypes are necessary when undergoing any new ventures, yet they require almost as many resources as the actual applications, which can prove to be too big of a hurdle to pass by. Our expertise gives us and our clients the upper hand in finding potential opportunities and executing them in the most efficient way.

Founding, Co-Founding, Venture Partnering & Capital

Building the future is not easy, especially without having years of industry experience to fall back on. We have the essential resources needed to implement ambitious ideas and make sure they are strong enough to withstand the neverending challenges. Success can rarely be taught through inspirational quotes, therefore we prefer hands-on mentoring by providing all the missing pieces of the puzzle. Our group has established a substantial number of successful companies in many different fields through founding, co-founding and venture partnering, all the efforts being put into the sustained flourishment of these entities.

Advisory & Project Management

No matter how intricate the matter at hand may be, there is plenty of advice to choose from. Unfortunately, most of it is wrong. We do not preach textbook knowledge - the best lessons are usually learnt the hard way and we have memorized them well enough to share the findings. Our advisory intelligence stems from the extensive knowledge of what is now and what is to come: we know, because we are at the front of it. Advice comes in many forms and we are flexible to choose the best fitting one whether it were a simple conference, a fully immersive project management or our own dedicated expert deployed on site for daily guidance - why guess if you can ask?

JetClass

Aviation is one of the defining characteristics of globalization and imagining modern life without it would be a challenging task. Flying itself has shifted from a luxury that few could afford to a mere necessity, especially for business people, yet the latest aviation trends make the work-related air travel less and less enjoyable. Means of solving two industry problems at once became apparent - increased usage of underutilized business jets would provide superior service for business travellers.
JetClass is that solution - a disruptive player of business aviation industry offering an opportunity to fly onboard business jets on a ticket per seat basis. The variety of scheduled routes available changes dynamically in accordance with supply and demand of the market measured by an in-house developed AI system, presenting the clients with unmatched comfort and cost-effectiveness.

Charterscanner

Business aviation is a particular playing field with a set of rules that rarely get challenged. The industry is small enough to be intimate, therefore most of the efforts go into fulfilling each request to the best of their abilities in terms of pleasantries, often forgetting the efficiency. The beauty of technology is that it can bring positive change to anyone and anywhere, regardless of the background.
Charterscanner is the first platform in business aviation industry created to achieve full transparency between operators and their clients, lowering the costs for clients while still providing the highest level of service. Charterscanner users can receive quotes for their requested destinations in under 10 minutes directly from an extensive list of leading European operators with no middlemen fees charged.

M2X IoT Platform

M2X stands for machine to anything - a powerful and scalable smart IoT platform, on-cloud or on-premise, with built-in device management, rules engine, queuing system, location based services, and infrastructure performance monitoring. Supports all major communication protocols with extensive APIs for integration into other systems and platforms.

Playground / Venture Sandbox

Nothing keeps the mind as alive as some well earned play time. Over the years we have built ourselves the perfect sandbox conditions to try out the newest technologies and business models, able to test out these concepts in incognito without having to worry about their potential reputational or monetary impact to the well established companies inside the group. The projects chosen for the Playground are either internal or carried out with a handful of partner companies, always within a limited budget.

A new Playground project is launched bi-annually with a set of new technologies to be implemented while solving real-world problems. This approach helps not only in keeping the startup culture inside the Falkenherz Group alive and well, but constantly sharpens the skills of our team members ensuring the challenges faced outside the sandbox are never quite that surprising. Based on the experience, every couple of years an MVP born in the Playground transforms into a great new venture by Falkenherz.
