At IAA Mobility 2025, taking place in Munich from September 9 to 14 (press day: September 8), Elektrobit will present a series of advancements supporting the rapid development of software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The company will highlight its growing portfolio of open-source tools and virtual development platforms aimed at helping automotive manufacturers streamline and accelerate vehicle software innovation.
From human-machine interface (HMI) development to over-the-air (OTA) updates and cloud-native workflows, Elektrobit’s technologies are helping automakers meet the growing demands of next-generation mobility. Elektrobit will demonstrate its latest infotainment and SDV application platforms, designed to separate software creation from hardware dependencies. By moving to a cloud-native, hardware-agnostic environment, developers can begin prototyping earlier in the process, cutting development time and cost while improving overall quality.
At AWS’s booth (Hall A2.B10), Elektrobit will participate in a special session on September 9 at 11:30 a.m., where Isaac Trefz will discuss how open-source technologies can help advance vehicle safety. The presentation will highlight EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications, a safety-certified platform built for cloud-based development on AWS. This solution combines virtual machines, open-source Linux, and safety-focused components, enabling automakers to accelerate prototyping and scale development while adhering to strict safety standards.
At Google’s booth (Hall B1.B10), a live demonstration will take place on September 10 at 10:00 a.m., led by Elektrobit experts Bertolt Schmidt and Sergej Schmunk. Titled “From Cloud to Cockpit – HMI Development with No-Code Customization,” the session will showcase how designs created in Figma can be rapidly converted into fully functional Android Automotive user interfaces. The workflow integrates Elektrobit’s development tools with Google Cloud, Accenture, and the Horizon virtual toolchain, illustrating a seamless path from concept to deployment.
In collaboration with HERE Technologies (Hall A1.A11), Elektrobit will demonstrate next-generation virtual development tools tailored for infotainment, navigation, and broader software-defined vehicle (SDV) features. The emphasis will be on modular, cloud-first architectures that empower faster, more flexible development cycles and support the growing need for scalable solutions across the automotive ecosystem.
At Sonatus’s booth (Hall A1.B14), Elektrobit will showcase live demonstrations of over-the-air (OTA) updates and infotainment solutions developed jointly with Sonatus. Visitors will also see Sonatus’s Updater solution operating within Elektrobit’s virtual development environment, underscoring the compatibility between both platforms and their shared vision for software-driven vehicle innovation.
Together, these sessions and demonstrations highlight Elektrobit’s role in shaping the future of connected and software-defined vehicles. By partnering with leading global technology providers such as AWS, Google, HERE, and Sonatus, Elektrobit is reinforcing its commitment to advancing automotive safety, user experience, and development efficiency through open, cloud-based, and collaborative solutions.
Elektrobit’s CEO, Maria Anhalt, will attend IAA Mobility along with senior members of the leadership team, including Christoph Herzig (Chief Commercial Officer and Managing Director), Demetrio Aiello (Head of R&D), JaganRajagopalan (Head of Strategy and Portfolio), and Dr. Siegfried Dirr (Head of Strategic Business Development). The team will highlight Elektrobit’s strategic global collaborations and its role in shaping the future of vehicle software.
“IAA Mobility 2025 marks a pivotal moment for the automotive sector,” said Maria Anhalt, CEO of Elektrobit. “The transition to software-defined vehicles is reshaping how we think about car development. Our partnerships and technologies are helping automakers bring smarter, safer, and more connected vehicles to market faster—while staying flexible and future-ready.”
