ELISE was founded in August 2018. Today’s company heads started out in Bremerhaven as scientists at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research. Later they founded their own company. The company is now based in the city of Bremen.

In their scientific research Dr. Moritz Maier, Sebastian Möller and Daniel Siegel had intensively studied the natural development processes of lightweight structures of marine plankton organisms. The knowledge gained in this way has become the basis of their innovative software for technical product development. The conventional approach to developing a product is based on a serial process that starts with the requirements, then develops a concept and evaluates it by simulation. Generative engineering is a paradigm shift that is based on the development methodology of nature. Using intelligent algorithms, the technical DNA of a component is created, which can then automatically generate, evaluate and optimize designs. This results in designs that meet all requirements from the very beginning. ELISE accelerates the pace of innovation by providing an open software platform in which existing CAE software can be seamlessly integrated. Industries that work with ELISE software include aerospace, automotive and consumer goods.
