Forbes 30 Under 30: Recognition of a Clear Technological Focus

In December, Viacheslav Gromov, CEO of AITAD GmbH, was included in the Forbes 30 Under 30 2025 list. Such distinctions are often perceived as personal milestones. They also reflect which technological approaches are considered internationally relevant, effective, and forward-looking.

Forbes does not reward retrospectives, but impact. The focus is on solutions that address real-world problems, can be scaled, and have the potential to sustainably transform existing markets. That embedded AI plays a role here is no coincidence. Today’s industrial systems generate data volumes that can neither be fully transmitted nor analyzed in real time using traditional cloud or edge approaches. Intelligence must move to where the data is generated.

Embedded AI means making decisions directly on the sensor based on complete raw data—deterministic, low-latency, and robust.

AITAD has followed this principle since its founding—not as a vision, but as an engineering-driven practice in safety-critical and industrial applications.

The inclusion of Viacheslav Gromov in the Forbes list is therefore not only a personal distinction, but also an external classification of this approach. It stands for a team that does not view AI as an end in itself, but as a tool to make machines more perceptive, systems safer, and processes more reliable.

The distinction thus fits into a broader development in which embedded AI is increasingly understood as a core industrial technology.
