    A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting of the New Champions #AMNC26 in China. The biggest takeaway? How radically the conversation has shifted on AI. Last year: AI was the ultimate buzzword. Everyone was trying to figure out what AI Agents were and how to build businesses around them. This year: Companies are starting to deploy AI Agents to automate complex engineering tasks, fundamentally reshaping SaaS components and operations across industries. This rapid evolution begs a critical question: How can companies stay resilient in such an ever-changing environment? At Quminex, our answer is simple: We build assets as a core part of our business model. By focusing on tangible, proprietary assets rather than just relying on shifting third-party layers, businesses become vastly more robust. More importantly, building our own assets puts us in the driver’s seat, ensuring technology is deployed the proper, sustainable way. A massive thank you to UpLink – World Economic Forum for inviting Quminex to attend #AMNC26. Beyond the strategic business alignment, an absolute highlight for me was the founder community. As founders, it’s incredibly easy to live in our own silos. Breaking out of that silo to exchange raw insights, vulnerabilities, and strategies with peers is incredibly revitalizing and I can highly recommend every founder actively step out of their day-to-day to lean into these communities. The solutions to our upcoming challenges are often found in the rooms we choose to share. #AMNC26 #WorldEconomicForum #UpLink #AI #Innovation #SaaS #AssetBuilding #FounderLife #Quminex

    Am Dienstag, den 02.06. haben wir unser Matching Event II 2026 veranstaltet und konnten die Räumlichkeiten der Investitionsbank Schleswig-Holstein (IB.SH) nutzen. Und ehrlich gesagt: Die StartUps haben uns diesmal wirklich unter Druck gesetzt. 🙌 Normalerweise pitchen bei uns 6 Teams. Diesmal haben wir eine Ausnahme gemacht. 7 StartUps haben es auf die Bühne geschafft – weil wir schlichtweg nicht in der Lage waren, noch weiter auszusortieren. Und das ist ein gutes Zeichen. Von Salz aus Pflanzen über einen digitalen Co-Piloten für LKW-Fahrer, KI-gestützte Industriesicherheit bis hin zur Schatzsuche nach kritischen Mineralien – die Bandbreite an Ideen, Technologien und Gründerpersönlichkeiten war beeindruckend. Jedes Team hatte seine eigene Geschichte, seinen eigenen Markt, seine eigene Überzeugung. Und jedes Team hat Fragen bekommen, die saßen. Die Teams des Abends:  🌿 Plantsalt – Kaliumchlorid aus Pflanzen statt aus Minen, für salzreduzierte Lebensmittel 🚛 cargovibe – digitaler Co-Pilot für LKW-Fahrer 🔬 Cellbox Solutions– Transport lebender Zellen unter physiologischen Bedingungen für neue Zelltherapien 🤖 SyncroBot – KI-Software für mobile Lager- und Transportroboter ohne komplexe IT-Integration 💚 Spring Longevity – KI-gestützter Longevity-Companion für Menschen 60+ 👁️ intuvis ai – bestehende Überwachungskameras werden zu KI-basierten Echtzeit-Sicherheitssystemen ⛏️ Quminex – KI und Geologie-Expertise für die Entdeckung kritischer Mineralvorkommen Was uns besonders gefreut hat: Der Raum war voll, viele Gäste haben es zu unserem Event geschafft. Die Gespräche danach beim Get Together waren lebendig. Man hat gemerkt, dass hier Menschen zusammenkommen, die wirklich etwas bewegen wollen – auf beiden Seiten des Tisches. Das ist genau das, wofür wir Baltic Business Angels brennen. Du willst beim nächsten Mal dabei sein? - Für StartUps: Matching Event III ist am 1. September 2026. Wenn ihr auf der Suche nach erfahrenen Angels seid, die nicht nur Kapital, sondern echtes Netzwerk und Know-how mitbringen – meldet euch. Die Bewerbungsfrist ist der 24.07.2026. - Für potenzielle Angels: Wir freuen uns besonders über Menschen, die ihre Erfahrung einbringen wollen – egal ob als Unternehmer:in, Führungskraft oder Investor:in mit erstem Interesse. Business Angel sein ist nichts, wofür man ein bestimmtes Profil braucht. Es braucht Neugier, Urteilsvermögen und die Bereitschaft, echte Unternehmen zu unterstützen. Mehr unter 👉 www.bba-sh.de

    We are currently seeking a Geophysicist to join Quminex. This position is ideal for an early career geophysicist who has a strong passion for tackling 3D spatial problems. If you are interested in this opportunity, we would love to hear from you. UPDATE: WE have closed this position on LinkedIN but if you are interested and are eligible for the role, you can contact me directly.

  • Quminex are pleased to share that a recent paper co-authored by two of Quminex’s co-founders, Alan Baxter and Marc Fassbender, has been awarded the 2026 Brian J. Skinner Award. This prestigious award is presented by the Society of Economic Geologists (SEG) for the outstanding paper published in the journal Economic Geology in 2025. The publication, led by Mark Hannington, is titled "Microplate Solutions to Crustal Growth and Metal Endowment in Modern Back-Arc Basins and Ancient Greenstone Belts". It explores how the fragmented "microplate" architecture of modern ocean basins, such as the Lau basin, helps explain the massive metal endowment found in ancient greenstone belts like the Abitibi. The research outlines how a network of smaller plates and spreading centers creates an efficient plumbing system for magmatic and hydrothermal activity, offering a compelling framework for understanding early Earth mineral systems. Congratulations to the entire research team on this recognition!
