Doxee Acquires Vienna-Based Infinica for €9.5M
Vienna-based Infinica, a provider of Customer Communication Management (CCM) SaaS software, has been acquired by Italian software company Doxee. The transaction closed on September 29, 2022, at a total purchase value of €9.5 million, with Doxee taking a 90% stake. Infinica's CEO Herbert Liebl retains the remaining 10% and will continue to lead the company along with its roughly 30 employees. The acquisition is part of Doxee's strategy to expand in the DACH region. Doxee, headquartered in Modena and listed since 2019, has a market capitalization of around €77.8 million. Investor InnovaticGroup, which backed Infinica in 2014, sold its participation for €4.2 million as part of the deal. Infinica counts about 40 customers in 10 countries, mainly in finance, utilities, and telecommunications, including Wien Energie, Internorm, and UniCredit.
Regional MarTech M&A: Doxee's acquisition of Austrian CCM specialist Infinica strengthens its European DACH footprint, but the €9.5M deal is modest and not industry-shifting.

UniCredit seeks to oust Commerzbank leadership in takeover bid
UniCredit's CEO Andrea Orcel is reportedly seeking to replace the top management of Commerzbank amid a hostile takeover. Insider sources told Reuters that Orcel wants CEO Bettina Orlopp and supervisory board chairman Jens Weidmann to step down. UniCredit also rejects the German government's demand for two supervisory board seats. The federal government, which still holds 13.3% of Commerzbank, wants to retain representation and prevent job cuts. Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil met with Orcel, emphasizing Commerzbank should remain listed and continue its SME business. With UniCredit controlling about 50% of shares, the takeover appears unstoppable.
PolyAI Launches Audio-Native Voice AI Model Dialog-RSN-1
PolyAI introduced Dialog-RSN-1, an audio-native dialog model for enterprise voice agents. The model fuses speech recognition, turn-taking, function calling, and response generation into a single large language model that reasons directly over raw call audio. Output is handled by a separate text-to-speech system to maintain control over the caller-experienced voice. PolyAI claims sub-300ms latency in production, positioning the model against cascaded architectures and speech-to-speech models like GPT Realtime and Gemini Live. The initial release supports English only, with broader language support planned. The announcement follows an $86 million Series D closed in December 2025.
