As a leading German provider of programming services for Industry 4.0, we are often faced with the question of how to prioritize and drive our developments. By working with QRAI Innovation Lab, we gained a highly competent and, above all, solution-oriented consultant for precisely this issue.
Since then, we have successfully implemented two projects. What I personally like about the team of QRAI is the positive attitude, the distinctive perseverance paired with an international network as well as very high professionalism.
Robofunktion GmbH
Dr. Thomas Werner, Managing Director -
As a Berlin-based KI startup for predictive maintenance, we were able to benefit from the Coaching Bonus Berlin program and from Natalia’s deep understanding of the robotic industry. Thanks to the coaching, we were able to get valuable insights and advice specific to our industry, analyze our business model and sharpen a comprehensive strategy. At the end of the coaching, we received a grant analysis that ensured we would not miss out on any financial support.

Dr. Tejo Chalasani, CEO and founder -
I started working with QRAI a year ago and I have to say that it was the best decision I could have made for my company.
With the help of Mrs. Kourakina-Lattner and her team, we were able to completely restructure our R&D portfolio and concentrate on the one, promising development. We have gathered market feedback and already won a pilot customer. Through a structured funding strategy, we can now better manage the development risks. And the most important thing – we felt completely reassured during the project implementation and can concentrate on our core competencies, namely the development of innovative robot systems.
Sikora GmbH
Ralf Sikora, Managing Director -
Natalia was our dedicated life sciences expert and mentor from the EIT Health Program (EU). As an award-winning Hungarian biotech start-up, our company (APPERCELL) has developed a unique smart research and screening system for labs and pharmaceutical companies.
The coaching with Natalia helped us to focus on the relevant topics of business development and to sharpen our product offering. Jointly, we laid the foundation of our value proposition for the target markets. Natalia gave us tools to validate our assumptions and to prepare a territory-focused go-to-market strategy. She provided enormous marketing and sales expertise in a very authentic way and offered excellent training to our entire sales team. With this knowledge, we feel well-equipped to start scaling our business model.Appercell Biotech Kft.
Andras Bencsik, CEO -
The team of QRAI helped me reach the next level of my company’s growth via setting up the strategy both in product and related R&D. I was impressed about their expertise in European funding, especially in drafting approaches on EU grants for deep tech startups. They gave me clarity on additional business models and income opportunities tied to my original product idea. I also got a profound analysis on European market entry for my business.
