DWS IQ 6: Mandatory Compliance Automation for EU Industrial Sovereignty

Carbon balance sheet infrastructure for 50,000+ EU companies. Every tonne tracked like every euro — double-entry bookkeeping for CBAM, CSRD, and ETS obligations. Running where cloud can't reach, at €17K/year vs €350K/year cloud.

Why This Round Matters

  • ⭐ €7k MRR live, path to €14k MRR by Q1 2026 (Logistics Operators, Construction Enterprises)
  • ⭐ 100% customer retention — zero churn on paying customers
  • ⭐ Mandatory market: Fit for 55 / CSRD regulations = forced purchases across 3.5M EU construction firms

We are raising ⭐ €650K SAFE to convert 2 construction pilots into live deployments and scale to 6 flagship portfolios.

⭐ Bridge to Series A with a clear path to ~€900k ARR and a €15M+ round target in 2026.

The Problem: Construction Reporting is Broken

Portfolio owners, CDOs, and CFOs are drowning in compliance chaos.

Mid-sized construction and infrastructure companies face 40–80 hours of manual Excel work per project. Data is scattered across invoices, fuel receipts, subcontractor reports, and multiple spreadsheets. There's no standardized format, high error rates, and frequent audit failures.

The result? €10,000–€50,000 in fines per project. Delayed projects due to missing CSRD documentation. Lost public tender opportunities. Supply chain partners demanding Scope 3 reports that don't exist.

Fit for 55 and EPBD mandates hit hard in 2025–2028. Companies must buy compliance tools or face penalties. The choice is: hire three consultants and build more spreadsheets, or automate the entire workflow.


The Solution: Automation. Better Automation. Reports. Better Reports. Dashboards. Bloody Better Dashboards.

DWS IQ 6 + Firehorse is the industrial AI platform that eliminates manual climate reporting for construction and infrastructure portfolios.

What Changes for Portfolio Owners / CDOs / CFOs:

Time to value: 4 weeks from contract to audit-ready report.

The Climate Reporting Starter Bundle includes DWS IQ Base (private cloud instance), Firehorse Report (automated reporting agent), and an 8-hour workshop. Output: Scope 1, 2, 3 emissions calculations, regulatory compliance documentation, project-level tracking, and continuous monitoring.

The Qivalis Window — Why Q3 2026 Is the Moment

12 European banks — BBVA, ING, BNP Paribas, SEB, UniCredit, CaixaBank, Danske Bank, DekaBank, DZ BANK, KBC, Raiffeisen Bank International, and Banca Sella — are launching Qivalis, a MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin, in H2 2026. The ECB's own digital euro arrives no earlier than 2029.

The 12 consortium banks are building payment infrastructure without a compliance layer. That gap opens Q3 2026.

A payment without compliance recording is just a transfer.
Compliance without payment data is just an estimate.

When a Qivalis payment clears on a steel or cement shipment, the CBAM obligation, CSRD Scope 3 entry, and ETS account must be recorded automatically. Qivalis provides no mechanism for this. DWS IQ does.

Payment-agnostic by design. Nordea (Nordic region's largest bank by assets) and OP (Finland's largest banking group by deposits) are outside the Qivalis consortium at launch. DWS IQ records every CBAM, CSRD, and ETS obligation regardless of whether the payment moves via Qivalis, SEPA, or any future MiCA-compliant stablecoin. The compliance obligation exists at the transaction level — not the rail level.

DWS IQ is the compliance ledger for Qivalis-era industrial payments.

⚡ NVIDIA Connect ISV Partner

Enterprise buyers and OEMs won't deploy on uncertified compute in regulated EU environments. DWS IQ is a certified NVIDIA Connect ISV Partner — our compute stack is validated by NVIDIA, not custom-built, not experimental. That objection is removed before it's raised.

  • Certified infrastructure: Validated against NVIDIA driver stack, CUDA toolkit, and container runtime
  • Partner network access: NVIDIA actively connects ISV partners with hardware OEMs and system integrators — warm channel into robot manufacturer relationships
  • Co-marketing: NVIDIA promotes ISV partners through industrial AI and robotics content channels
  • Early hardware access: Blackwell successors, Jetson roadmap updates before general availability

Investor implication: Certified infrastructure + partner network access = faster path to revenue without building hardware relationships from scratch. See the full compute stack architecture → | Verify on NVIDIA Partner Locator →
