Innovation in sectors like eMobility, autonomous driving, sensor technology and additive manufacturing is one of Magna's key objectives. For the automotive supplier, the collaboration with disruptive startups is the cornerstone of sharing the future of the industry.
Leading Mobility is designed to connect with European innovators and keep all doors open for communication. Once you get in touch, Magna will identify synergies to get started. If you're working on an innovative technology, product, or service - we want to hear from you!
The Startup Program covers mobility as a whole, and specifically 4 key objectives:
Electrification
Electromobility will be an essential component of future mobility. Vehicles become more than just the vehicle - driving as efficiently and economically as possible.
Autonomous Driving
This objective refers to technologies which enable self-driving vehicles, including sensors, processors or other. Some functions include Adaptive Cruise Control & Advanced Parking Assistance.
Connectivity
Increased demand for connectivity and reliability calls for increased effort in the areas of urbanization, safety, and cybersecurity.
New Mobility
This is a great opportunity for technologies and services which offer improved quality, timing or cost of the mobility experience.
Strong Partner
Magna will typically partner for development of proof of concept if a solution qualifies. This includes the ability to commercialize and get to the market.
Product Development
As one of the top 3 tier 1 automotive suppliers globally, Magna has the infrastructure in place to support product development in multiple fields and technologies.
Acceleration
Magna is actively responding to the accelerating global need for innovation. Innovation can be product, process, materials, or data related.
TerraLoupe
TerraLoupe focuses on the development of plane- / drone-based HD maps. The aerial images are analyzed by proprietary machine learning algorithms, and provide object recognition to locate relevant information.
HOMYHUB
HOMYHUB lets customers control, monitor, and manage access to their garage anywhere at any time. The solution uses Military Grade Encryption to keep garages secure. Owners can also invite a guest to use their garage.
Powerplace.io
Powerplace collects public data with exact geo-hash and timestamp. Employing this technology allows for the prediction of when the next passenger will call a taxi and in which regions the probability is highest for pedestrians.
Drover
Drover offers a flexible car subscription service. The startup grants individuals the possibility to choose from a variety of Uber-approved cars at a one-week minimum rental term.
