Retresco also offers strategic content management solutions based on semantic search technology for regional newspapers such as Südwest Presse and Märkische Oderzeitung . bmp's investment will allow Retresco to quickly expand its product line to include a publishing platform, to support the team with highly specialised staff, and to reinforce its position as one of the leading providers on the rapidly growing semantic search market.

Restresco and bmp had instant chemistry – our new partners have a keen sense of the opportunities that lie in semantic search technologies,' explained Alexander Siebert, founder and CEO of Retresco GmbH. 'Semantic search technologies are becoming more critical in the online world, regardless of segment. We see an enormous amount of potential that has been largely untapped on the market. Retresco's products, expertise and development have won us over, and we are very pleased to have such an outstanding addition as Retresco to our media portfolio,' says Jens Spyrka, Executive Board member of bmp media investors AG.
