Regiothek

Regiothek GmbH is an innovative company that specializes in the development and implementation of platform technologies for the regional food industry. Founded in 2018 as a spin-off from the University of Passau, Regiothek aims to strengthen the value chains of regional food businesses through digitization and transparency.

• Transparency of Supply Chains: Regiothek enables the transparency of supply chains on an interactive map. This shows how and where products are produced and processed, and strengthens trust in regional products[2][5].
• B2B Marketplace: The platform acts as a Business-to-Business (B2B) marketplace where regional food producers and processors can sell their products directly to other businesses. This simplifies trade within the regional food industry and supports smaller businesses in accessing new sales markets[2][5].
• Ordering and Payment Functions: Since July 2023, the platform also allows direct orders and payments, making the process even more efficient for consumers and businesses[2].

The main mission of Regiothek is to give regionality a face and to support the local economy through tailored technology. Regionality is at the center, comprehensively covering the spatial reference, the sourcing, processing, and distribution of regional food[2][5].

• Sustainable Value Chains: Regiothek focuses on innovation projects to optimize and make regional value chains more transparent through digital tools. This includes projects like "FreshRegio," "Digital LandGenuss," and "Transport Cooperations for Regional Products," which aim to improve the logistics and quality of regional food[4].
• Artificial Intelligence (AI): Regiothek is working on AI projects, such as the "SMAEG Bot," to improve interaction between businesses and the platform and to simplify the marketing of regional food[4].
• Regional Networking: By connecting producers, processors, retailers, and restaurateurs, Regiothek promotes regional cycles and supports the self-sufficiency of the regions[2][5].
