Creonic is a spin-off of the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany, founded in 2010. Beforehand, the founders were employed at the research group "Microelectronic Systems Design" of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Norbert Wehn in the department of electrical engineering. Dr. Matthias Alles and Timo Lehnigk-Emden had already contributed to various industry projects during this period.

With broad technical knowledge and experience of business activities, the founding of Creonic was the logical consequence after successful academic projects. Within the first year of business, the first IP core was successfully shipped to a customer. Since then, the company has grown.
