MISSION

We’re building Industrial AI at the intersection of atoms and bits. Starting with procurement, expanding across the entire industrial landscape.

Our Purpose

The Edge

Industry is the backbone of Europe’s economy: a quarter of GDP and millions of jobs. It builds the physical world, from electronics and complex machinery to data centers.
As war, geopolitics, and AI reshape the world, the biggest constraints are increasingly physical. Europe has a unique strength in manufacturing, while AI has so far created most of its impact in the world of bits.
The next frontier is Industrial AI.

Our Purpose

The Lever

AI has barely reached manufacturing. The world of atoms is complex, and training data is scarce. Behind every physical product are hundreds of suppliers and thousands of production-critical materials, while much of that knowledge still lives in people’s heads or outdated systems that create friction instead of insight.
Procurement is the missing link. If you understand parts, suppliers, and prices, you can understand what a machine will cost before it is built, and influence decisions across engineering, production, and finance.
This is where bits meet atoms.

Our Purpose

The Opportunity

Industrial AI is the opportunity of our generation. We are making it real by building the intelligence layer for industry. Procurement is the perfect place to start. Technically, this is where bits become atoms: procurement knows what a product is made of, who makes each part, and what it costs. Economically, this is where the biggest leverage sits: 60% of tasks can be automated and material costs can be reduced by 10%.
Today, hundreds of industrial companies and billions in procurement spend run through Tacto, making us a global leader in Industrial AI.
Our promise is the Perfect Buy: every part from the best supplier, at the best conditions, with zero effort. By solving procurement, we unlock Industrial AI across industry. Stronger procurement. Stronger supply chains. Stronger margins. Stronger industry. Stronger economy. Stronger society. Stay Stronger.

Industrial excellence meets frontier AI. Together with today’s global market leaders, we’re building the Industrial AI of tomorrow.

Our Management

At Tacto, we believe in the future of European industry. Industrial AI is the way forward.

That’s why we build through co-innovation with industry: as partners, pragmatically, and with a strong technology focus. Our team combines decades of industrial experience with AI research from TUM around one shared ambition: to strengthen industry together, from Europe for the world.

Technology is not an end in itself. It is a lever for sustainable competitiveness. That’s what drives us.”

Built for the backbone of global industry

“We have been with Tacto since day one. We are consistently impressed by their pace of innovation and take pride in our role as a strategic design partner.”
Mario Koch, Head of Procurement, KNOLL

Our Heritage

Backed by world-class technology and industry leaders, we bridge the gap between global innovation and the enduring power of the industrial sector.
