## About this market
Development in Frankfurt means building where the data is allowed to sit. AISOMA publishes six systems built on locally hosted and open-source models, including retrieval-augmented generation on client infrastructure and a locally hosted model generating synthetic identity data. ADVISORI's published builds are industrial—generative AI in manufacturing, cyber-physical systems with intelligent sensors—alongside its own Synthara AI Studio. Adastra builds the layer underneath, publishing a hybrid Azure and Power BI reporting platform for Volkswagen AG and machine learning that lifted NETZSCH's data quality by a stated 24% by catching mislabeled spare parts. Lazy Ants works on operational workflows, and Qubix Consulting builds where the business systems already are—ERP, CRM, commerce platforms—with AI attached to those rather than standing alone. statworx sits further forward, with strategy and roadmap work ahead of engineering.

That split matters when scoping. Confirm early which part of the work each firm actually does, because several here describe strategy and delivery in the same breath and the difference decides whether you are buying a roadmap or a running system. Settle the deployment target—your infrastructure, a cloud region, or no external connection at all—before comparing prices.
