Stellantis has recognised eleven technology start-ups for their contributions to sustainable mobility and innovative technology with the 2023 Venture Awards. The awards, part of the company’s Dare Forward 2030 initiative, highlight Stellantis’ commitment to developing clean, safe, and affordable mobility through strategic prtnerships and investments. The selected start-ups have been acknowledged for their impact on customer experience and technology innovation. Chief Engineering and Technology Officer Ned Curic noted the importance of embracing fresh and creative perspectives to continually offer cutting-edge, customer-loved products.
The company engages with start-ups primarily in two capacities: as a partner, to quickly implement new solutions, and as an investor through the Stellantis Ventures capital fund, which invests in early and later-stage companies innovating in the automotive and mobility sector. The company has formed over 110 partnership contracts with start-ups in the last two years and made twelve significant investments through its venture arm.
The eleven honored start-ups were selected for their noticeable impact on enhancing customer experience, introducing novel technologies, and their scalability potential within Stellantis’ operations.
