Tekst Showcases Flemish AI Innovation at Hannover Messe 2025

Last week, the team at Tekst had the opportunity to showcase their cutting-edge AI solution at HANNOVER MESSE 2025, one of the world’s leading industrial technology trade fairs. Representing Flanders at the Startup Flanders pavilion, CEO and co-founder Wouter Janssen pitched Tekst's vision to global industry leaders—and even to political figures like Flemish Minister Matthias Diependaele.

“Well, I could use this in my cabinet,” the Minister remarked after Tekst’s demo—a strong sign that our solution resonates far beyond just private sector applications.

Revolutionizing the Inbox With AI

Tekst builds AI specifically designed to help companies—and public institutions—automate email and aftersales workflows. The goal? To eliminate repetitive, manual back-office tasks like email triage, forwarding, classification, and data re-entry.

Whether it's an overloaded customer service inbox or post-sales processes that drain resources, Tekst ensures teams can focus on what truly matters by:

  • Automating repetitive emails
  • Smartly routing messages to the right people
  • Reading and extracting data from PDFs and attachments
  • Providing clear insights into communication flows

As Wouter put it:

“We think every Flemish institution could benefit from a little Tekst magic.”

From Flanders to the World

HANNOVER MESSE is known for being a hotspot for innovation in Industry 4.0, AI, and digital transformation. With over 130,000 visitors and thousands of exhibitors, the event connects tech innovators with industrial leaders seeking to future-proof their operations.

For Tekst, participating wasn't just about visibility—it was a strategic step in scaling internationally. The company’s focus on low-disruption integration and high-impact automation makes it a compelling partner for enterprises and governments alike.

And the best part? You didn’t have to be a Member of Parliament to get the demo—attendees at the Startup.Flanders pavilion were treated to the same live pitch that impressed Minister Diependaele.

What’s Next for Tekst?

With growing interest from both industrial and public players, Tekst is expanding its AI capabilities and integration portfolio. From Ghent to Germany and beyond, they’re on a mission to make messy inboxes a thing of the past.
