Emporis ( http://www.emporis.com ) plans to use this investment to accelerate growth and drive internationalization. The Darmstadt company wants to offer its services in multiple languages as well as make building data universally accessible and useful. Stephan R. Boehm, Managing Director at Emporis: "With this data, companies in the construction and real estate sectors can analyze their markets and find respective projects and partners. Emporis manages data regarding the complete life cycle of a structure: from the concept phase through demolition. At this juncture our product Emporis Research comes in."

"The job of Emporis is to organize a complex puzzle," explains Michael Wutzke, Managing Director at Emporis. He adds, "Every piece of information expands the picture we have about the building market. Emporis merges established business models with "Web 2.0" services and stores data so that it is semantically relevant. We generate completely new knowledge from simple information."
