About nanocosmos

nanocosmos was founded in 1998 in Berlin and has been developing innovative solutions to emerging video challenges ever since. Over the past decade, we've focused on making real-time video streaming simply work.

Our Story

nanocosmos was founded in 1998, when linear television still dominated and digital video was just emerging. The company started as an early codec business, working alongside the Fraunhofer/Heinrich Hertz Institute on video compression technology. From there, nanocosmos kept evolving: from compression pioneer to a real-time video streaming platform built for industries where streaming can't fail.

What started as pioneering MPEG software technology has evolved into the nanocosmos platform: real-time streaming and cloud-based production, serving businesses worldwide with ultra-low latency streaming.
