KPIT Technologies announced that Qualcomm Ventures LLC has joined the ownership group of Qorix GmbH, a joint venture initially established between KPIT and ZF. Qualcomm now holds the position of third shareholder in the venture and has the option to increase its investment by up to €10 million, according to a filing with the stock exchanges.
The collaboration is aimed at accelerating the industry’s shift toward Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), providing OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers with high-performance, scalable, and pre-integrated solutions to help develop the next generation of vehicles more efficiently. Under the terms of the agreement, Qualcomm will be able to appoint a representative to Qorix’s Advisory Board.
Qorix GmbH was initially set up as a fully owned subsidiary of KPIT, focused on developing a cutting-edge automotive middleware platform. The joint venture between KPIT and ZF was officially approved by KPIT’s Board of Directors on April 26, 2023.
Qorix’s growth continued with the establishment of its subsidiary, Qorix India Private Limited, following merger control approvals in May 2024. In the subsequent month, equity contributions and transfers of Intellectual Property Rights were made to Qorix GmbH. By June 2024, ZF completed its initial contributions, and Qorix GmbH became a 50:50 partnership between KPIT and ZF.
The registration confirming Qualcomm as the third shareholder was filed by the German Commercial Register and received by KPIT on March 13, 2025. This strategic collaboration among three industry leaders positions Qorix to provide innovative middleware solutions to meet the growing demands of the Software-Defined Vehicle market.
