INSIDE M2M celebrates summer

On August 28, 2025, INSIDE M2M invited guests to its annual summer party at the home of Fred Könemann, one of our company founders. We enjoyed a wonderful evening outdoors in a relaxed atmosphere. The grills were fired up, while the buffet was lined with homemade specialties from our colleagues – from creative salads to delicious desserts, there was something for everyone. With cool drinks in hand, we had a really good time. Our bingo game provided entertainment with attractive prizes, ensuring lots of fun and a great atmosphere. Between lively conversations and shared laughter, the evening flew by. The summer party was the perfect opportunity to spend time together away from the daily grind and strengthen team spirit. It is moments like these that make INSIDE M2M more than just a workplace – it is a team that sticks together.

M2MGate: Systematic security - tried and tested for years, equipped for the future

At M2MGate, security is not a feature, but part of our DNA. For many years, we have relied on a multi-level security concept in development that makes our IoT platform robust and trustworthy. We have taken the Cyber Security Act and the increasing requirements for IoT security as an opportunity to present our approach transparently: In our latest paper, we show how M2MGate ensures a high level of security - today and in the future.

INNOVATION DAY '24

Focus on innovation: INSIDE M2M’s annual developer meeting for the IoT platform M2MGate

Today, developers from all INSIDE M2M locations gathered at the Hanover Production Technology Centre (PZH) in Garbsen to develop new innovation opportunities for our IoT platform M2MGate.

Once a year, the entire development team meets with the management to develop and prioritize innovative ideas in a focused round. While we work continuously on the platform throughout the year, this meeting offers a special opportunity to provide new impetus in a targeted manner. Our developers contribute their extensive expertize to identify potential for M2MGate - from the optimisation of existing features to the development of new areas of application.

Ideas were generated in a structured manner using the open space method. After a presentation of the current state of development, all of the participants’ innovation ideas were collected, thematically bundled and further developed in workshops. This not only resulted in creative approaches, but also concrete technical feasibility studies and implementation plans.

Finally, the moderators presented the most important results in a concluding round. This summary now forms the basis for the next phase, in which the best ideas will be further concretised and translated into measures.

Now the implementation begins. We would like to thank everyone involved for their valuable input and look forward to taking the next steps in the further development of M2MGate together!

The Gustavhalle at the Helmkehof in Hanover provided the perfect setting for a special day: music, dancing, competitions and a barbecue ensured a great atmosphere. A big thank you to all the guests who made this evening so special. We not only looked back on the past 20 years, but also created many wonderful memories for the future.

We would like to thank all our customers, partners and employees who have accompanied and supported us over the past 20 years. We look forward to continuing to develop innovative IoT solutions in the future and to looking to the future together.

700 kidwishes

On 20.12.2023, Uta, Kari and Michael experienced a special Christmas party organized by UFU and Serve the City Hannover.

Both associations called for donations to give presents to almost 700 children who had to leave their homes. Thanks to the generosity of 24 companies, including our own participation, numerous wishes could be fulfilled. The joy and gratitude of the children was an unforgettable sight. We are proud to be part of this wonderful initiative and thank UFU and Serve the City Hannover for this opportunity.

INSIDE M2M at B2RUN in Hannover
