Protecting visual data in B2B processes
TrustNXT is developing a software platform for comprehensive manipulation protection for visual data. It combines cryptography, computer vision and patented trust technology to ensure the authenticity of image and video data. This prevents manipulation effectively and provides for reliability at every step. The solution guarantees the integrity of visual data in critical business processes.

Ariane Scheer-Danielsson, Co-Founder & Managing Director at TrustNXT:
“In a world where AI can generate deceptively real images in seconds, trust and data integrity are crucial. Without them, digital business models are threatened. Our mission is to secure this integrity for companies.”

Strong market response in the insurance sector
TrustNXT’s insurance solution addresses manipulated damage photos and enables the complete automation of claims and underwriting processes – without any human review. Insurers can effectively prevent image fraud, shorten processing times and make their processes cost-efficient and scalable.

Patrick Krönlein, Principal at D11Z. Ventures:
"We are excited about the cryptography technology used by TrustNXT. It generates a technically unique fingerprint of the sensor data at the point of origin of a medium. It is irrevocably linked to the medium – a physical, tamper-proof evidence. This prevents manipulation and proves the origin of digital content beyond doubt. In the current race between AI-manipulated media and AI that recognises such manipulation, TrustNXT renders this duel obsolete. TrustNXT’s technology will restore trust in digital media for the long term.”

Tizian Hoppen, Senior Investment Manager at HTGF:
“Trust is the foundation of a functioning economy. Today, important decisions are based on digital media such as photos and videos. TrustNXT has impressed us with its digital trust technology, which is based on years of deep tech research.”

Future: Real-time protection for industrial use cases
TrustNXT plans to use the capital to expand its technology, particularly for tamper-proof realtime protection of video data in industrial applications. The first pilot projects in industry are planned for 2026.
