HYVE
Munich, Germany

Based on 17 documented clients · verified Jul 2026
Our Take
HYVE positions as an innovation company rather than a traditional UX agency—their 15+ published success stories span physical product design (BORA kitchen appliances, MAN yacht motor, HATZ construction equipment), digital solutions (Sport Austria Finals App, Sky Austria), and innovation strategy (Continental co-pace incubator, voestalpine crowdsourcing).
As Design Thinking pioneers now part of the Qvest Group, their methodology is visible in case studies. The work tilts toward innovation consulting and industrial design rather than digital interface design.
This is an innovation and industrial-design consultancy—physical products (Siemens, BORA, MAN) and corporate-innovation programs (Continental, RBI, Wüstenrot) dominate, with just one pure digital/UX build in the set; a poor fit if you need standalone product-UX or interface design.
Key strengths
- 15+ success stories across physical and digital product design with enterprise clients (Continental, BORA, MAN, voestalpine)
- TISAX certified and part of Qvest Group—signals data security standards for automotive and industrial clients
- Broad innovation methodology covering foresight, user research (netnography, crowdsourcing), and agile development
Good to know
- Innovation consultancy first, digital UX agency second—confirm dedicated UX/UI designers if your project is purely digital
- Physical product design dominates the portfolio—ask for digital-only case studies if your project is software-focused
- Success stories vary in depth—some lack process documentation. Request detailed methodology for your project type
