AURICON accompanies PwC Germany’s participation in Münster-based startup Westphalia DataLab

After the Westphalian family company REMONDIS took a stake in Westphalia DataLab (WDL) under the leadership of AURICON, another milestone in the young company history of WDL was reached. The auditing and consulting company PwC Germany has a stake of almost 20 percent in WDL. The startup, founded in Münster in 2017, offers data science software products in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) for companies and helps them develop data-driven business models in order to make them fit for future requirements. After Fiege Logistics and REMONDIS, PwC Germany is the third well-known investor that WDL has been able to convince of its business model. As before, AURICON accompanied WDL in the search for and contact with investors as well as through the entire transaction process as a competent partner.
