ELEXIR (Accelerator)

Company Description: Elixir is developing a new, completely digital software platform for the automotive industry; it helps automotive companies to develop their cars much faster. Their technology allows car functions to reside in secure, containerized apps such that developers can improve vehicle functions - even while the car is already in customer hands. This shortens development cycles from years to weeks. Car functions are no longer defined by components but rather by apps running on the versatile ELEXIR platform. For this to work, a clean-sheet-of-paper approach is needed that the big OEMs cannot perform or risk. They envision ELEXIR to be a modern building block from new EV startups to big OEMs. ELEXIR enables its customers to concentrate on what makes their car special, while they make the development process and customer experience a breeze. Car manufacturers and app developers alike don't need to care anymore about certification, security, deployment, and updates. Their architecture aims at providing the highest level of security and safety while abstracting from underlying hardware details of the vehicle: The operating system of mobility. This will transform mobility as we know it by opening the market to 3rd party creativity through open data and open APIs that solve actual user needs.
