Accelerating Innovation
In Safety-Critical Industries
Zinergy GmbH is a consulting company focused on accelerated innovation, strategic business development, and rapid prototyping for aviation, defense, and Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) sectors.
We combine deep operational expertise with hands-on implementation to help organizations bring complex technologies to market faster with confidence and compliance.
Our Mission
We help companies regain innovation speed by temporarily externalizing their innovation processes. Through rapid external prototyping, early customer validation, and targeted sales support, we assist clients in identifying and acquiring their first launching customers.
Zinergy also supports access to national and European funding programs such as German innovation grants and SESAR Joint Undertaking initiatives to accelerate development and reduce financial risks.
“We believe in the power of external innovation as a strategic instrument within every organization, proven effective across international projects.”
— Jan Ziegler, Founder and Principal Consultant
Our Vision
We aim to establish a flexible innovation network for regulated markets, where external prototyping, funding enablement, and agile business development complement existing research and development processes. Our goal is to accelerate the market readiness of safety-relevant and disruptive technologies that create measurable impact.
Our Values
