bmp media investors AG: bmp finances Retresco
Berlin, 26. April 2011
bmp media investors AG (ISIN DE0003304200) has acquired a 25.05% stake in Retresco GmbH Berlin.
Retresco GmbH, which specialises in semantic searches, information extraction and real-time aggregation of content, is an innovative idea resource and implementation service for complex knowledge management projects. The company was founded in 2008 and has already handled numerous projects for government institutions in recent years, including for the Federal Ministry of Health and the State Ministry of Baden-Württemberg. Retresco also has a great deal of expertise in projects for media companies. For a large media company based in Berlin/Hamburg Retresco developed a semantic technology for a personalised, automated news portal and a new intranet search for editorial teams. Retresco also offers strategic content management solutions based on semantic search technology for regional newspapers such as Südwest Presse and Märkische Oderzeitung .
bmp's investment will allow Retresco to quickly expand its product line to include a publishing platform, to support the team with highly specialised staff, and to reinforce its position as one of the leading providers on the rapidly growing semantic search market.
'Bringing a financial investor on board was the next logical step in advancing our core business. Restresco and bmp had instant chemistry – our new partners have a keen sense of the opportunities that lie in semantic search technologies,' explained Alexander Siebert, founder and CEO of Retresco GmbH.
'Semantic search technologies are becoming more critical in the online world, regardless of segment. We see an enormous amount of potential that has been largely untapped on the market. Retresco's products, expertise and development have won us over, and we are very pleased to have such an outstanding addition as Retresco to our media portfolio,' says Jens Spyrka, Executive Board member of bmp media investors AG.
