CMID joins the Fraunhofer Investment Hub

Enabling digital material identity – for a circular construction industry

The construction industry faces a structural problem: material flows are undocumented, valuable resources lose their identity, and traceability across multiple life cycles is almost impossible. This is where CMID comes in – and now receives strong support from one of Germany’s leading innovation drivers.

We’re excited to announce: CMID is now part of the Fraunhofer Investment Hub.

Why this matters

Our technology for digital material identity makes physical materials uniquely identifiable – directly through their natural surface. No markers, no additives, no risk of tampering. A robust digital fingerprint that remains for decades.

By joining the Fraunhofer Investment Hub, CMID gains access to a powerful network of research, industry, and investment. This partnership highlights the relevance of our technology for fast-growing fields such as:

• Circular economy

• Construction tech

• Material tracking & ESG compliance

Benefits for investors and industry partners

For investors:

• Patented deep-tech solution with scalable business potential

• Early exposure to a dynamic, high-impact market

• High relevance for decarbonization, sustainability, and resource efficiency

For construction and material manufacturers:

• Traceability without labels or markers – directly from the material

• Deep material documentation for reuse and recycling

• Automated identification cuts time in logistics, deconstruction, and QA

Our mission: Understand materials. Build the future.

With Fraunhofer by our side, we are accelerating our mission to enable a truly circular construction industry. Digital material identity is the foundation – empowering architects, manufacturers, contractors, and recyclers alike.
