Perpetuals Partners with German University of Digital Science

The partnership positions BayesShield as both a teaching tool and a live research platform at a premier German university and marks Perpetuals’s entry into the $83 billion global online education market, which is expected to grow 22.2% annually. The university’s dedicated research centers will also serve as applied R&D environments for advancing BayesShield’s machine learning models, strengthening the company’s intellectual property portfolio and market positioning while generating recurring SaaS licensing revenue for Perpetuals.

German UDS will integrate BayesShield AI into its curriculum as a live case study and applied research platform across multiple graduate programs, including its M.Sc. in Applied AI, M.Sc. in Cybersecurity, MBA in Financial Technology, and MBA in Digital Technologies. Students and faculty can leverage BayesShield’s probabilistic AI models, trained on 11.7 billion retail trades and more than 1 million unique user histories, to analyze real-world trading patterns, conduct research on retail investor behavior, and develop next-generation risk management frameworks.

"This partnership represents a transformative moment for Perpetuals," said Patrick Gruhn, CEO of Perpetuals. "By licensing BayesShield to a German state-recognized university, we are simultaneously creating a new recurring revenue stream, gaining academic validation for our AI from world-class researchers, and establishing a pipeline to the next generation of fintech talent globally."

"The integration of BayesShield into our research and teaching infrastructure aligns with our mission to equip global digital leaders with real-world tools and datasets," said Prof. Dr. Mike Friedrichsen, co-founder of German UDS.

German UDS is fully recognized by the Brandenburg Ministry of Science (MWFK), endorsed by the German Science and Humanities Council (Wissenschaftsrat), and accredited by the German Accreditation Council (DAR) through ASIIN. It is Europe’s first fully digital, state-recognized university, delivering German-accredited degrees entirely online to students worldwide.
