"We Want to Build a Big Business Without Ego," Says Twinzo CEO After Securing a €2.3M Investment
Imagine managing a factory thousands of kilometers away - all from your smartphone. That’s the core vision of twinzo, a Slovak startup bringing real-time digital twin technology to large enterprises. By enabling businesses to monitor production, logistics, and operations remotely, twinzo offers an efficient and cost-effective 3D visualization of industrial spaces, accessible from anywhere in the world.
Unlike existing solutions that require high-performance computers, twinzo’s mobile-first approach makes it easier for employees to access critical data on the go, ensuring real-time control over manufacturing, logistics, and workforce movements.
Now backed by a €2.3 million investment led by Portugal’s Critical Ventures, along with Czech and Slovak venture funds, twinzo is gearing up for rapid global expansion. In an exclusive insight, CEO Michal Ukropec shares how the company secured this funding, the challenges faced along the way, and why a deal with Saudi investors fell through at the last moment.
With big ambitions and a strategic vision, twinzo is set to reshape the way enterprises manage operations, optimize efficiency, and embrace digital transformation.
