Berlin start-up wants to create an alternative to Windows, iOS and Android — Incari is part of “Scale-Up Europe”, an initiative by the french President Macron
PRESS RELEASE
Incari is developing a European operating system
Berlin start-up wants to create an alternative to Windows, iOS and Android — Incari is part of “Scale-Up Europe”, an initiative by the French President Macron
Paris/Berlin (18 June 2021). Attack on the American tech giants: the Berlin-based company Incari is working on the first European operating system. The global IT landscape has been dominated by Microsoft’s and Apple’s systems for decades. European values such as data protection, data security, and property rights are not always given sufficient consideration. Incari is an entirely new development and works particularly quickly, in an energy-efficient manner, and can be operated visually and intuitively. French President Emmanuel Macron received the CEO and founder of Incari, Osman Dumbuya, at the Élysée Palace.
Macron emphasises in the manifest of the “Scale-Up Europe” initiative which he instigated: “Scale-Up Europe is a call to join forces around startups: to reinforce Europe’s sovereignty, develop the prosperity of our economies and societies, and achieve the objectives of social cohesion and climate transition that are at the heart of the European project.”
“Incari and President Macron share the idea of a strong Europe. A Europe which stands for change, for democracy, and for freedom”, says Dumbuya. “Incari will change the software landscape in Europe — both in terms of development and application. European programs, applications, and apps will have a different look and feel, as well as represent their own values.”
Incari CEO Osman Dumbuya is actively supporting the “Scale-Up Europe” initiative and has also contributed to developing recommendations for the deep tech sector. Incari’s most recent growth financing is backed by partners and investors who have come together as part of “Scale-Up Europe”.
Looking forward, we are convinced Europe can reach the next level, and have set an ambition for the continent to become home to 10 technology companies each valued at more than €100bn by 2030.
There is enormous interest in a European operating system — and not just in the Élysée Palace. A current, representative survey revealed that more than two thirds of the respondents were open to the idea of a European operating system. They would prefer to use it provided it had at least the same functionality and existing data security.
Incari is improving companies’ competitiveness
“Many ideas fail on the path to implementation because the costs, for software and licences, for example, are too high. On the one hand, this reduces willingness to innovate, while on the other hand, existing, often outdated applications linger on”, says Dumbuya.
With its software, Incari is shortening the path from idea to finished product massively. This saves on costs and speeds up the development process. By simplifying the implementation of complex requirements, Incari is ensuring innovation and entirely new applications for customers.
Existing operating systems are largely based on structures and technologies which are decades old. In contrast, Incari has been developed for the latest 3D methods. It has been designed from the ground up for visual and intuitive 3D interaction; conventional operating systems need to retrofit these functions, meaning they are significantly less powerful. Incari offers numerous functions and framework conditions which are sorely needed by medium-sized companies and start-ups to allow them to start development quickly while keeping up-front costs as low as possible.
European values are defended
Operating systems developed outside the European legal area have little to no interest in European laws. Laws on data protection, privacy, or companies’ IP are often implemented with a considerable delay or only in retrospect. Violations of the law remain without consequences, while the owners of the data lose out. Incari strives for an operating system that is committed to Europe’s values. It safeguards data security, data authenticity, and property rights.
On a technical level, pan-European projects such as the use of GALILEO data for digitising public authorities (cadastres and land registries) can benefit greatly from the 3D technology on which Incari is based. In addition to public administration, medium-sized companies, start-ups and corporations also count among the potential customers. There are also use cases in healthcare, as well as in architecture and the infotainment sector.
The European operating system being pursued shouldn’t just be used in Europe, rather its qualitative advantages and sensible handling of personal data should impress people around the world and offer an alternative.
For the establishment of its European operating system, Incari anticipates a capital requirement of several hundred million euros over the next few years. Just recently, having been led by the entrepreneur and investor Lukasz Gadowski (Team Europe), a series A round of financing was completed with a volume of 15 million euros; cooperation with other strong partners is in the pipeline.
The veteran founding team has already been able to establish a standard solution in the industry using the Vred visualisation software. Incari emerged in May 2021 from its predecessor company “CGI-Studio”, which had up to that point primarily been active in the HMI sector for the automotive industry.
Incari GmbH is thrilled to announce that Incari Studio 2021.1 has been just released. Incari Studio comes with brand new features such as new Vector engine, WebGL Support by our internal web render engine, performance increase by over 120x and much more.
The most important part is, that Incari Studio comes with a new subscription license model. Starting at 14,90 € per month. Check it out and download a 14 days trial.
What’s new?
Vector tools.
With Incari 2021.1 comes a range of new vector-based Objects, to create customizable graphics for your projects. One of the powerful implications of these new Objects is that it is now possible to control their Attributes using the Logic Editor, affording many more possibilities for data-driven graphics and user interaction.
The initial line-up of vector Objects is: Arc, Ellipse, Label, Line, Pie, and Rectangle.
Compiled Logic.
In previous versions of Incari, logic created in the Logic Editor generated code and interpreted that code at runtime. In the new version, however, that is no longer the case. Incari 2021.1 now comes with an integrated compiler. The logic gets converted into C++ code and then compiled into machine code before the user runs the project. What this means in practical terms is that there is a dramatic increase in the speed at which logic is executed, with some benchmarks showing a 120x speed increase when compared with the previous version.
Video Player.
You now have the ability to use videos directly in Incari, via the Video Objects. With this new addition, of course, comes a new set of Nodes and Events, to link your control graphics with the Logic of your application.
Skyrocket performance.
The way in which Incari serializes data has been greatly improved in the new version, providing a 40% speed increase when saving and loading, and creating and editing assets.
Berlin-based start-up expands its customer focus from the automotive sector to other industries – platform for new generations of human-machine interfaces – Lukasz Gadowski leads € 15 million Series A financing round.
Berlin (10 June 2021). New approach to developing human-machine interfaces (HMI): the Berlin-based company Incari offers a convenient user interface for designing complex interfaces with no knowledge of programming. Having seen success in the automotive sector, the application is now being rolled out to other industries. A new round of financing provides a fresh boost; the expansion is to be driven forward with additional € 15 million funds from investors.
“Incari can be used wherever an interface between a human and a machine is needed”, says Osman Dumbuya, CEO and founder of Incari. “We offer an uncomplicated platform which allows developers and designers to work together starting right at the prototyping phase. Our system currently sees particular use in the automotive industry. There is, however, great demand in a variety of other industries such as health, construction, and aerospace.”
The European entrepreneur and investor Lukasz Gadowski (Team Europe) is currently leading the Series A round of financing: “Incari’s approach is fascinating. I’m amazed by what the team has already achieved in the automotive sector. These experiences can be carried over to a wealth of other applications. Together, we’re now looking to create a large, independent company which is active at the global level.”
Together with investors led by Lukasz Gadowski, the founders will take the company to the next level of growth after being supported in the early stages by angel investor Armin Pohl’s Wunderkind Invest. The founding team is being supported by Pius Equity and business angel Gunnar Gräf.
The way in which humans and machines interact is fundamentally changing
Society’s digitalisation in both private and commercial life is changing the way we understand technology. Specialisation of products and use of new concepts for interaction is prompting a paradigm shift. In particular, innovations in human-machine interaction, such as augmented reality, remote touch, computer-brain interfaces, are driving the process of change – after all, navigating inside an AR environment or vehicle can’t be mapped with a mouse.
At the same time, the complexity of the individual systems is increasing. The HMI concepts of the future will not be limited to displays and will require a three-dimensional reference, as is the case when virtually representing three-dimensional construction plans on a construction site or controlling a surgical robot arm remotely.
The Incari HMI development platform is tackling these challenges head-on. It facilitates a development process which is optimised to meet the needs of new HMI concepts and products. Incari’s “3D-first approach” does away with the restrictions or previous tools which are geared towards simple two-dimensional representation. Dynamic processes and 3D models can be rendered in real-time and visualised on a variety of output devices. This is what allows applications with a spatial reference, such as augmented reality, to be realised in the first place.
Strong cooperation partners
The Incari platform’s ongoing development is being carried out in joint research and development cooperation with the Fraunhofer Society’s Institute for Open Communication Systems and Institute for Industrial Engineering and Organisation as well as the Daimler Center for Automotive IT Innovations.
Incari is also involved in the field of neurotechnology and digital medicine, in the future integration of neural interfaces as well as bio-trackers, sensors and exoskeletons to name but a few – an example of how Incari can be used in HMI systems of all types in both consumer and industrial goods.
The veteran founding team has already been able to establish a standard solution in the industry using the Vred visualisation software. Incari emerged in May 2021 from its predecessor company “CGI-Studio”, which had up to that point primarily been active in the HMI sector for the automotive industry.

We have released INCARI Studio 1.5. Checkout all the cool new features and tools, whcih help you to crete HMIs fast and easy.
See the whats new section below.
Whats new in INCARI Studio 1.5
General
Multi Threading / Application Performance
Core components of INCARI Studio have been refactored in oder to run faster and more stable, the overall application performance increased, loading times decreased.
Opacity on Nodes and groups
All Nodes in „Scene Outliner“ have now an opacity parameter as atrribute added. Opacity also works on „Group“ nodes. This allows grouped objects to be set as transparent or opaque at once.
Node Branch Highlighting
In order to find the right logic branch, it is now possible to highlight the selected node branch to identify the logic for that branch.
INCARI Player Resolution Modes
The content oft he INCARI Player simulation window can be scaled to fit the scren resolution. Sometimes assets are bigger than the screen. Setting a scale factor enables a proper display of he content in the simulation window
CAN Manager / Editor
CAN communication setup can now be found in the „Project Settings“ window. In the CAN manager you can set the path of the DBC file and the interface name.
New Logic Nodes
Arrays
Arrays can store multiple data. With arrays data values can be manipulated by traversing through the array with a function loop.
For loop / for each loop
INCARI Studio offers now loops as a programming toolset. For each loops can interate through arrays and get or set values of hat array.
Opacity Logic Node
Opacity of any scene object can now be controlled via INCARI logic. This allows fade animations and set visibility during logic execution.
Actions
Actions are a new way to create anaimations in INCARI Studio. Now it is possible to create a „FadeTo“, „Rotate“, „Scale“ and „Delay“ actions via logic. In a complex HMI System animations are neccesary to set position and visibility of widgets according to the current HMI state.
Scene Transitions
Scene transitions allow switches between two scenes in an elegant way. It is now possible to slide, fade or blend two scenes for smooth transitions.
Tint Node in Logic
The „tint“ node allows an interactive colorization of sprites via logic. Icons can be tinted for example to show different severety states.
Change materials on 3D geometry via logic
It is now possible to switch materials of 3D Models interactively via INCARI logic.
JavascriptCallBack Node
Using the Javascript callback node allows the reception of processed javascript variables from external websites. Now it is possible not to only call JS functions, you can now also receive values from a JS function.
On Scene Update Node
„OnSceneUpdate“ triggers a pulse as fast as the render engine is updating. This allows a synchronization of logic and render engine.
On Variable Set/Change Event
Variables in INCARI Logic can now trigger specific events once their value has been set or changed. This is useful for occasions when states are changing in the logics module.
