Core product lines cover property value calculation, climate risk and ESG exposure, and energy performance certification.

Founded in 2014 by Sven Jantzen and Jon Meis, SkenData has grown to serve 150+ banking and insurance clients, including Allianz, AXA, ERGO, R+V, Signal Iduna, and Zurich. The company claims 70% market share among German financial institutions for building data solutions and has participated in accelerator programs with InsurLab Germany and Plug and Play.
