Dr. Jan Brinkhaus. Founder. Entrepreneur. Advisor.

I build companies at the intersection of mechanical engineering, IoT, and AI. For over 15 years, my team and I have been developing solutions that make manufacturing processes smarter.


From founding a startup to being acquired by a global market leader to returning to entrepreneurship – I know both sides: the founder’s and the corporate executive’s.

What I do:
– Brinkhaus GmbH – Manufacturing Intelligence for the production industry
– Advisory – Strategy, technology, and scaling for industrial companies
– Research – Currently part of the EU project MetaLin-X with TU Wien, TU Graz, JKU Linz, and Siemens
