OUR
STORY
As a spin-off from the Institute for Computational Geoscience and Reservoir Engineering at the RWTH Aachen University, we strive to share our technological expertise and bring our scientific insights to real-world applications. With this objective in mind, we founded Terranigma Solutions in March 2020.
Today, with our academic and industrial partners, we are working on innovative solutions to enable geological experts and shape the geological modeling workflows of tomorrow.

OUR GOALS & MOTIVATION
Global and societal challenges, such as the transition to renewable energy and e-mobility, have led to a rising demand for critical georesources. Geological exploration and modeling - i.e. a good understanding of the subsurface - plays a crucial role in meeting this demand.
Digitization and latest technological developments present a timely opportunity for a leap in workflow efficiency and sustainability in a variety of sectors, such as raw materials and geotechnical engineering.
At Terranigma Solutions, we develop and provide innovative geological modeling solutions to help our customers seize this opportunity.
Our vision is to become a leader of innovative ideas and digital solutions in geosciences, and to contribute to a future of geological exploration that is economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable.
