Early Life
Professor Georg Nemetschek, born in 1934, is a certified civil engineer. He founded the Ingenieurbüro für das Bauwesen in Munich, Germany, in 1963. His early exposure to computing systems and a vision to integrate technology into the construction sector marked the beginning of Nemetschek's journey.
Rise to Success
Nemetschek's journey involved an early adoption of computer technology for complex engineering problems. He pioneered the use of design software in his engineering office in the late 1960s, which was long before computers became available for personal use. The company launched 'Statik 97/77' for civil engineering in 1977, and presented the first computer-aided engineering (CAE) software for microcomputers in 1980. Nemetschek AG went public in 1999.
Key Business Strategies
Nemetschek Group operates in four segments: Design, Build, Manage, and Media & Entertainment. The company has been acquisitive, expanding its product portfolio through acquisitions. Nemetschek has focused on new technologies such as AI and digital twins.
Philanthropy
In 2020, Georg Nemetschek launched the Nemetschek Innovation Foundation to support scientific research and artificial intelligence in the construction industry. He also established the Nemetschek Foundation in 2007 to strengthen democracy in Germany. Furthermore, the Professor Georg Nemetschek Foundation was established in 1996 for the benefit of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at Munich University of Applied Sciences.
