Tvarit, a Frankfurt-based startup, is on a journey to enable zero-waste manufacturing. Tvarit has closed its funding round, led by Momenta and Futury Capital, to enable AI-powered, waste-free, and energy-efficient metal manufacturing.
The round also included a significant re-investment by existing investor Matterwave Ventures. The World Economic Forum estimates that industrial waste accounts for half of all waste generated globally. Manufacturing is the largest and fastest-growing contributor to this waste stream, with an estimated 20% of every dollar spent on manufacturing producing waste. Tvarit estimates that the metals industry loses Euro 160 billion annually.

Founded in 2019 by Rahul Prajapat (an IIT Bombay alumni) alongwith Suhas Patel (a serial entrepreneur based out of Germany), Tvarit Industrial AI can reduce manufacturing quality defects (scrap) by 50% and reduce energy costs by up to 30%.
Rahul Prajapat, Founder and Managing Director at Tvarit, “Metal manufacturing shop floors are very complex.” Even in state-of-the-art machineries, there are multiple settings which require adaptation dynamically, to achieve the highest productivity/profitability and sustainability. AI based self-learning systems can learn these dynamic patterns much more effectively as compared to traditional physics-based simulation approaches. “AI is the only way to eliminate waste on the shop floor.”
Ken Foster, Executive Director at lead investor Momenta, “Manufacturers in Europe are dealing with the dual challenges of the energy transition and carbon neutral goals.” Tvarit’s AI tools enable them to do both, driving precision manufacturing techniques to help maintain their global competitive advantage. Momenta is proud to lead the investment round in a company that is driving such “Industry 5.0” outcomes.
