Our take
Synera, formally known as Elise, is a German-founded engineering software company that develops platforms and tools for manufacturing companies. Off the back of the company's ethos to help engineers do more of what they love, Synera automates processes and leverages low-code, open and integrated software to help companies as large as BMW and Hyundai get more done faster.
Off the back of its 2022 funding, Synera has been working to expand its customer base into new market regions. The company already claims to save engineers up to 90 percent in time savings on ad-hoc tasks, enough incentive for the auto and travel manufacturing industry to invest in it. Interestingly, the Alfred Wegener Group, which conducts research in the Arctic and the Antarctic, is a parent company of Synera, influencing its core motive of improving engineering efficiency for time-sensitive work.
