Unxos GmbH

Unxos GmbH is a Swiss software engineering company founded in 2008 by Marc Wick in Zürich. The firm positions itself as a full-stack development partner with deep specialization in Java and Android development, relational database design, geographic information systems (GIS), and artificial intelligence. Its service portfolio spans frameworks and platforms such as Spring Boot, Hibernate, WebSphere, Tomcat, and Android, alongside database technologies including Oracle, DB2, PostgreSQL, and PostGIS. Unxos also works with generative AI models, machine learning, and verified credential technologies such as e-ID and the Swiyu ecosystem. Beyond contract software development, Unxos maintains a second pillar of self-initiated products and projects that serve as a testing ground for emerging technologies. The best known of these is GeoNames, a global geographical database with a wiki-style editable interface, offering free and premium data downloads, more than 30 REST web services, and a liberal CC-BY data license. GeoNames aggregates data from national mapping agencies and relies on user contributions, supported by quality checks and a confirmation process for relevant changes. Unxos is described as the operator of the community version of this globally available dataset. The company's second flagship project is Fabelix, a children's storytelling app for Android available on Google Play. Fabelix uses various AI technologies to generate, illustrate, and read stories aloud to children. Users can create their own stories using voice, text, or characters, listen to stories from a library, improve reading comprehension through multiple-choice quizzes, and build language skills in six languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Polish. Stories can also be shared with friends. Unxos presents itself as a partner driven by reliability, analytical skill, and full-stack competence, with a stated passion for software development and a focus on complex problem-solving. The company is registered in Switzerland under commercial register and VAT number CHE-114.660.887 MWST. It remains a privately held Swiss company headquartered in Zürich.
