His path began in 2022 with small, self-organised parties. Out of them came an event agency with the aim of offering events from a single source, and from there a group with brands in events, logistics, software and artificial intelligence. Under the NexSoft brand, SCHMITZ UNIVERSE develops SICA, short for Super Intelligence Company Assistant: an AI assistant that takes phone calls, answers emails and keeps the calendar for a company. The first SICA is called Dexter and was developed in Koblenz on the Rhine. Schmitz also heads Regional.Events 365 UG, a platform for events and community in the regions around Koblenz, from the Eifel and the Moselle to the Westerwald. He is the author of the books “Kopfsache” and “Deutschland findet wieder statt.” His guiding idea: bringing together people who would otherwise never have met. His work rests on five principles: responsibility, integrity, innovation, community and longevity. ======================================================================== PUBLICATION ======================================================================== Kopfsache — “Erfolg beginnt im Kopf: Wie du mit dem richtigen Mindset alles erreichen kannst.” Paperback, 166 pages — published in German, July 2025. Available on Amazon and in selected EDEKA stores. https://amzn.eu/d/0hTJu0Nc ======================================================================== FEW PRINCIPLES, APPLIED WITHOUT EXCEPTION. ======================================================================== Responsibility — Toward people, partners and society. Entrepreneurs carry responsibility — for the people who work with them, for their partners, and for the communities their decisions touch. That responsibility is not a department. It is the standard by which a decision is judged before it is made. Integrity — Trust is built, never claimed. Trust comes from honesty, reliability and thinking beyond the immediate transaction. A commitment given is a commitment kept — even when circumstances change and keeping it becomes expensive. Innovation — Question the structure, not just the surface. Existing structures are examined rather than inherited. Where an established way of working no longer serves the people inside it, a better one is developed — carefully, and with respect for what already works. Community — Nothing lasting is built alone. Durable success is never the achievement of an individual. It emerges where people bring different strengths to a shared undertaking and each one is genuinely needed. Longevity — Generations, not quarters. The measure is not the fast result but the structure that still stands in twenty years. Decisions are taken with that horizon in view — economically, socially and culturally. ======================================================================== BUILDING SUCCESSFUL VENTURES IS NOT AN END IN ITSELF. ======================================================================== Bring people together: Connection happens where people genuinely meet — not where contacts are collected and filed. Connect organisations: Cooperation between organisations creates value that none of them produces alone. Make culture visible: Cultural substance is an economic asset — and deserves entrepreneurial attention. Help innovation grow: Good ideas rarely fail on their merits. They fail on access. Build durable structures: Structures that still carry weight once the initial enthusiasm has passed. ======================================================================== SUBJECTS ======================================================================== An AI of your own in the company — How SICA and Dexter take over phone, email and calendar — and what that means for small and medium-sized businesses. Making regions visible again — Why fairs, clubs and events hold a region together, and how Regional.Events 365 brings them into one place. Young founders in Germany — What it takes to build a company early on, and what would have to change to make it easier. Building for the long run — What it actually takes to think in generations rather than quarters. ======================================================================== QUOTES ======================================================================== „Business creates prosperity. Culture creates cohesion. Lasting progress happens where the two meet.“ — Jonas Schmitz „Ventures do not emerge in isolation.
