osapiens Acquires Lucent AI to Strengthen AI-Driven Risk Management and Compliance
osapiens has acquired Berlin-based Lucent AI, a startup focused on agentic AI for risk management. The move expands osapiens' capabilities in financial risk management, compliance automation, and AI-supported decision-making-areas where leadership teams are looking for measurable efficiency and better controls.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Mannheim, Germany, osapiens offers cloud software that automates complex compliance tasks, streamlines operations, and tracks sustainability metrics in real time. Its AI-powered osapiens HUB helps companies map and monitor value chains to meet regulations such as EUDR, CSRD, and CSDDD, while improving asset performance, maintenance, planning, and field service operations.
The acquisition follows a $120 million raise last year to accelerate expansion and product development. That capital now backs a deeper push into AI-enabled risk and resilience.
What Lucent AI Brings
Launched in 2023 by brothers Max and Moritz Wolff, Lucent AI builds AI agents that help corporate risk teams identify, assess, and mitigate threats more effectively. The platform quantifies risks, detects anomalies using industry data, and surfaces early risk scenarios for management and investors. It focuses on the most time-consuming governance processes-highly regulated, labor-intensive, and time-critical work.
Max Wolff said: "Lucent AI was founded with the intention of making companies more resilient through intelligent risk management. We have seen first-hand how complex and crucial these processes are for regulated companies of all sizes. With osapiens, we have found a partner that shares our vision and has the resources and expertise to further develop and scale our solutions."
Integration Plan and Timeline
Lucent AI's founders will join osapiens and lead development and strategic integration across resilience and risk management, disclosures and reporting, and product compliance and traceability. Lucent's product portfolio and customers will be integrated into the osapiens HUB, with the first modules expected in Q2 2026.
Matthias Jungblut, co-founder and co-CEO of osapiens, said: "With Lucent AI, we are expanding our portfolio with an AI-first risk management system. The Lucent-AI solution is the perfect addition to our portfolio and supports our mission to help companies worldwide achieve greater transparency, security, and efficiency."
Why This Matters for Management
Risk and sustainability are converging. Boards and executives need consistent data, faster incident response, and credible reporting across supply chain, product, and financial exposure. This deal points to a future where AI agents handle routine controls and triage, while teams focus on higher-value judgment and oversight.
For regulated companies, it also tightens alignment with EU requirements like CSRD and the proposed CSDDD, where transparent value-chain data and timely disclosures are essential.
What Leaders Should Do Next
- Identify high-friction processes to automate: third-party due diligence, incident triage, scenario analysis, and evidence collection for audits and reports.
- Tighten data foundations: unify supplier, product, asset, and financial-ESG data; set standards for data quality and lineage to support defensible reporting.
- Plan for Q2 2026 pilots: align budgets, integration resources, and change management for osapiens HUB modules that incorporate Lucent AI.
- Set governance rules now: define thresholds for AI-driven actions, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and escalation paths across risk, legal, and compliance.
- Track the right KPIs: time-to-detect, time-to-report, anomaly precision/recall, false positive rates, exposure reduced, and audit-readiness speed.
The takeaway for management: treat AI agents as force multipliers for compliance and risk, not replacements for accountability. The companies that standardize data, automate the repetitive work, and keep human oversight tight will move faster and reduce exposure-without adding headcount at the same rate.
