Marc Hildebrandt

Founder

Marc Hildebrandt

Marc Hildebrandt founded German Deep Tech Group after more than a decade building and exiting technology companies at the intersection of research and industrial application.

His first deep tech company, LandXplorer — developed in proximity to the Hasso Plattner Institute — was acquired by Autodesk in 2008. It was not an accident. It was the proof of concept for everything that followed.

GDT was founded as the institutional frame for what could not fit inside a single company or a standard fund structure: the long work of translating rigorous research into things that hold under real conditions.

He divides his time between Germany and Spain.
