On the one hand, many companies have already recognized the need for action in their data strategy and want to use knowledge graphs more. On the other hand, however, smaller companies and SMEs, in particular, face problems with development, often due to a lack of well-trained staff and available software. neonto has set itself the goal of becoming the necessary building block for developing high-quality knowledge graphs.

Knowledge Graphs. Empirically better.

The neonto academy is the first step here and trains employees in the building blocks of graph technology. neonto edit is the first knowledge graph editor that will also be available to SMEs thanks to user-based SaaS pricing. neonto metrics ensures long-term quality by measuring the graphs with tried and tested metrics.


How did you get together as a team?

Since 2019, Achim has been working on the quality evaluation of knowledge graphs as a researcher in the Department of Information Systems at the University of Rostock. As part of his doctorate, he developed the neonto metrics software for the efficient numerical evaluation of graphs. 
Pascal studied computer engineering and was a developer at an AI start-up in Cologne. Christian studied business administration at the University of Rostock and worked at the DIZ Rostock.

What are you studying/working or what have you studied?

Christian is in the final stages of his business studies at the University of Rostock, focusing on digital business models. He also worked in the digital innovation center and has three years of experience in independent financial sales.

Achim first studied business informatics at the DHBW Mannheim and worked at IBM. He then moved to the University of Rostock, where he received a master's degree in business informatics from Rostock and the ITMO University of St. Petersburg as part of a double-degree program.
