Accelerate your startup through a six-month collaboration program in mobility and connectivity with Magna, Polestar, Volvo Group, Zeekr Technology Europe and Zenseact.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
The program is stage agnostic, but startups must have a functioning prototype, be a registered company in any country, and be able to show traction (PPCs/pilots with OEMs/Tier 1).
For Batch 14, we seek startups in the following focus areas:
We're seeking innovative startups focused on cutting-edge technologies that enhance battery performance, optimize energy efficiency, offer seamless user experience, and integrate smart energy management. We are particularly interested in technologies such as battery and thermal management, next-gen power sources, electric drive systems, grid integration, charging infrastructure, EV luxury customizations, advanced displays, and aerodynamics. Additionally, we're exploring lightweight materials, LED lighting, and energy storage systems. Join us to showcase your pioneering solutions and collaborate with leading corporates to accelerate the transition to enhance future electric vehicles' efficiency and user experience.
We're seeking disruptive startups specializing in AD/ADAS technologies, scalable cloud infrastructure, and essential simulation tools. We're looking for solutions that enhance safety compliance, advanced 3D visualization, data handling, real-time decision-making, fleet-level analysis, high-precision mapping, and localization. We want to collaborate with you if you're advancing hardware and software for autonomous driving platforms, ensuring safety, or enhancing self-driving capabilities.
We're seeking visionary startups in Connected Services and Advanced Connectivity Technologies. Key areas of interest include V2X, immersive technology (VR/AR), infotainment, assistants, and location-based services. We also focus on productivity services, connected safety features, fleet management, and integrated transport systems. If you specialize in reliable digital twins, cybersecurity, 5G-enabled technologies, Vehicle payment or insurance Tech, or 3rd party vehicle data services, join us to drive innovation and accessibility in the Mobility sector. Apply today and help reshape the future of connected mobility experiences!
We seek innovative startups focused on green manufacturing, reusability, recycling materials, and circular design and economy principles. Key areas of interest include recycling platforms, used batteries, sustainability tracking, supply chain transparency, ethical sourcing, and compliance. If your expertise lies in recycled and bio-based materials or reducing emissions, we want to collaborate with you to drive sustainability forward.
We seek pioneers in in-car assistants, voice control, and personalization to enhance driving experiences. Are you enabling corporate AI infrastructure and computation? Are you utilizing AI to automate, add, or augment real-world business use cases, such as digital twin technology for advanced testing or AI-driven risk management in supply chains? We're interested in startups integrating computer vision, NLP, and deep reinforcement learning into manufacturing processes and customer experience. Join our accelerator to revolutionize automotive innovation and drive business adoption across diverse applied AI use cases.
