Convit, a privately owned company headquartered in Germany, was founded in 2015 with approximately 20 employees. The company reported $2.1M in revenue as of 2024. Convit specializes in production and post production, functioning as a Cologne-based IT company spun out of the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (IAIS), focused on developing newsroom software under the Newsmind brand.
On June 16, 2026, Convit introduced a topic view feature to its 4-week dashboard, designed to help large newsrooms manage content planning across various channels and clarify individual steps from idea to publication. Previously, on May 29, 2026, the company highlighted its story-centric workflows, which aim to provide structure for communications teams by connecting planning, execution, and steering around shared themes to combat siloed operations and maintain consistency. Earlier on the same day, Convit enhanced its Newsmind Stories platform with new social media management capabilities, adding support for formats like Reels and Stories to enable faster content production and direct publishing for newsroom operations. In November 2025, Convit partnered with BFE to implement a new editorial system for the Bundeswehr’s communications team, integrating Newsmind Stories into the existing infrastructure to enhance innovation and efficiency. This followed German broadcaster Hessischer Rundfunk (hr) selecting Convit in October 2025 to provide a tool for its strategic program portfolio planning under the project name “Angebotswelt,” aiming to align content more closely with audience needs and fulfill its public service mission.
Convit's customers primarily consist of content rights and broadcast television and radio companies. Examples of Convit's customers include Westdeutscher Rundfunk, Bayerischer Rundfunk and ARD.
