Neuss, Germany, 22 February, 2019 (APA/OTS) - Yanfeng Automotive
Interiors (YFAI), the world's leading supplier of automotive
interiors, is the new partner of innovation platform Startup
Autobahn in Stuttgart. With an extensive support program, the
platform assists startups from the mobility sector and brings them
together with established companies and research facilities.
Startup Autobahn is part of the Plug and Play global mobility
ecosystem, which YFAI joined in 2018.
"As our recently unveiled XiM20 interior concept demonstrates,
future mobility opens up entirely new technology and design
possibilities for vehicle interiors," explained Han Hendriks, Chief
Technology Officer for YFAI. "Through our collaboration with Plug
and Play in California, we have made significant progress with our
innovation work. We believe that we will also find strong partners
through Startup Autobahn that help us further advance the evolution
of automotive interiors with visionary technologies."
As Europe's largest platform for open innovation, Startup
Autobahn puts the emphasis on an open exchange of disruptive ideas
and technologies. Stuttgart research factory ARENA2036 offers ideal
conditions for rapid and uncomplicated cooperation between
companies and selected startups from all over the world. YFAI
wishes to use this opportunity to cooperate with young companies on
new technologies for future vehicle interiors.
"The startup scene has a great innovative spirit which we can
also use to the benefit of development work within our company,"
said Han Hendriks. "At the same time, the partnership gives
startups access to our many years of expertise in the automotive
industry."
Sascha Karimpour, Managing Director of Plug and Play Germany,
said of the new partnership: "With its clear vision for the future
of vehicle interiors, YFAI is an important partner for our
innovation platform. Through direct dialog with the mobility
startup scene, Startup Autobahn provides the ideal environment for
further development of the passenger experience."
