Thouvenin Rechtsanwälte supports Munich Re in its investment in CertX AG

Munich Re, the world’s leading reinsurance company headquartered in Munich, Germany, has acquired a stake in CertX AG, headquartered in the Canton of Fribourg, Switzerland, becoming its largest single shareholder. Nearly 4 years after CertX was founded, this transaction represents an important milestone in CertX’s growth trajectory. Munich Re, with its 140-year track record and brand reputation, will support and accompany CertX in its next growth phase and international expansion.

CertX is an accredited certification and inspection body for functional safety and cybersecurity. It offers certification and inspection services for products, processes and management systems as well as training and personal certification. As part of its cooperation with CertX, Munich Re now offers a trustworthy artificial intelligence testing service.
