Franz Nkemaka is the CEO & Founder of Nextise GmbH, a Stuttgart-based AI implementation company helping industrial and mid-sized enterprises build and deploy sovereign AI systems, intelligent knowledge platforms, process automation, and modern software solutions.

As an entrepreneur, AI strategist, and technology leader, Franz works at the intersection of artificial intelligence, automation, and software engineering. Through Nextise and its education platform Kodschul, he and his team have trained more than 3,000 professionals—from software developers and IT specialists to department leaders and C-level executives. His work has included training and consulting engagements with organizations such as Deutsche Bahn, TÜV Nord, Deutsche Telekom, Bundeswehr, Big Dutchman, LMV Versicherung, and Austria's Bundesrechenzentrum.

Franz is known for translating complex technologies into practical business outcomes. Drawing from real-world implementation experience, he helps organizations move beyond AI experimentation toward scalable, production-ready solutions. He has also spoken at the Embedded Software Engineering (ESE) Congress, where he presented on Rust for Embedded Systems to industry professionals and decision-makers.

A pivotal breakthrough in 2016 accelerated his journey into software development and entrepreneurship, laying the foundation for the international company he leads today.
