Founded in 2009 in Regensburg, Germany, by Dr. Ludwig Fuchs, Nexis is an innovative and disruptive identity governance software vendor, today recognized as an IVIP (Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platform) leader by third-party analysts such as Gartner and KuppingerCole. The Company has grown quickly and efficiently in the DACH market since its inception, building a loyal and diversified base of more than 130 blue-chip enterprises and financial institutions such as Munich RE, AXA, the Swiss Post and Swisscom. As these large organizations rely on an ever-increasing number of employees, systems, third parties and AI agents, managing access to critical applications and data has become increasingly complex. At the same time, tightening regulations, including DORA, NIS2 and ISO 27001, are making identity transparency and audit readiness mission-critical – particularly for sizeable enterprises in regulated sectors.

The NEXIS Platform gives its customers a single, unified view and control layer over every digital identity across their organization, whether belonging to employees, contractors or increasingly to AI agents and non-human identities (NHI) acting autonomously. By combining identity access management with governance, risk, and compliance capabilities, and leveraging its proprietary AI layer and co-pilot, NICO, the platform automates access reviews, enforces segregation of duties, and continuously monitors compliance with regulations across the application landscape. This transforms a traditionally fragmented, manual, and highly technical function into an intuitive, business-owned process, allowing enterprises to reduce security risks, streamline audits, and demonstrate a clear, traceable return on investment.

This transaction will see InfraVia acquire a majority stake in the Company with an aim to accelerate commercial development internationally, outside of the Company’s existing DACH stronghold. The current management team will maintain a strong and lasting commitment to the new structure under the leadership of existing managing directors Dr. Heiko Klarl and Dr. Michael Kunz.

“It was paramount for us to find a partner that aligns with our international ambitions. With InfraVia, we have found a shareholder with a proven track record of building European champions and the expertise to help us replicate our strong success in the DACH region across international markets.” Dr. Heiko Klarl, CEO of Nexis.

“Our investment in Nexis perfectly embodies our strategy and focus on efficient growth while benefiting from clear AI tailwinds. We are extremely happy to partner with Heiko, Michael and the whole team, and will leverage our full capabilities to help them grow their footprint to a multiple of the current one.” Romain Favrelle, Director at InfraVia.

“We were extremely impressed with the team’s command of the complex digital identity topic and the clear technological edge they have built. We fully subscribe to their vision of building a European champion and are very much looking forward to supporting them alongside InfraVia.” Gilles Daguet, Managing Director at Tikehau Capital.
