Our journey

Sowa Labs GmbH was founded in 2013 as a spin-off of the EU research project FIRST, in which Boerse Stuttgart was also involved. Starting with predictive data analytics, the focus shifted to cryptocurrencies and digital assets - also with a view to trading applications for this asset class. In December 2017, Sowa Labs GmbH was fully acquired by Boerse Stuttgart Digital Ventures GmbH and has since then supported the digitalization strategy of Boerse Stuttgart Group. After a year in development, Sowa Labs launched the BISON app at the end of January 2019 for uncomplicated trading in cryptocurrencies on the smartphone.
