TheiaX

TheiaX GmbH is a spin-off of the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF) part of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden - Rossendorf e. V. (HZDR). From science and R&D through to commercial applications, our expertise combines hyperspectral imaging and machine learning technics providing the exploration and mining sectors with bespoke solutions.

​

Since the establishment of HIF in 2011, the Exploration department has been carrying out extensive research into the usage and application of hyperspectral technology as a rapid and non-invasive solution for the exploration and mining sector. With numerous R&D projects around the world, many of which are in collaboration with industry partners, the Exploration department’s know-how, has been ever-growing - be it from the usage and calibration of the tripod and drone-based hyperspectral systems through to drill-core hyperspectral imaging and the development of machine learning and data fusion workflows.

​

With significant requests from the industry, in 2019, the decision to proceed with the creation of a spin-off company was made and financial support from the Helmholtz Enterprise program granted. During its incubation period, TheiaX performed services via HZDR Innovation GmbH (HZDRI) – the daughter company of HZDR. In December 2021, the legal entity TheiaX GmbH was founded.
