Elektrobit opens new software lab in Berlin

Elektrobit (EB), a cutting edge global supplier of embedded and connected software products for the automotive industry, has signed a long-term collaboration agreement with MBition, a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler AG.

This was the ideal start for the opening of a new software lab in the innovative and creative environment of Germany's capital Berlin.

MBition selected EB as a key partner to design and implement the software platform for the next generation of Mercedes-Benz telematics systems. Drivers will benefit from enhanced and latest state of the art user experience features developed by MBition. “Having EB with its profound experience in Berlin close to our office in Berlin helps us tremendously to develop software for our future Mercedes-Benz cars,” said Gregor Zetsche, CEO and Managing Director at MBition.

“In Berlin, EB is able to bring innovative software products to the automotive industry in an ambitious environment abundant with bright minds,” said Gregor Zink, managing director of Elektrobit. “Moreover, EB's newfound presence can help facilitate MBition's growth and cultivate more customer and partner possibilities.”

EB's new office is located at Franklinstraße, close to the Technical University in Berlin's Charlottenburg neighborhood. EB's focus is the development of automotive-grade software platforms for high-performance computing systems, bringing the next generation of automated and connected cars to the road. Projects will be executed in an agile setup in close cooperation with its customers.
