KPIT Technologies, an automotive software and mobility engineering firm, has opened a new technology centre in Gothenburg, Sweden to 'drive innovation in mobility'.

This marks a significant step in the company's strategic expansion, establishing a presence in the Nordics and reinforcing its commitment to European automotive OEMs.

Located in Lindholmen Science Park, the heart of Sweden's automotive and mobility R&D, the new centre is surrounded by industry leaders, academic institutions, and start-ups.

This strategic move is a testament to KPIT's vision to reimagine mobility in collaboration with clients, talent, and partners.

KPIT president and joint MD Sachin Tikekar said: "Our vision is to reimagine mobility for a cleaner, smarter and safer world. Sweden is a powerhouse of innovation, especially around safe and sustainable mobility, with Gothenburg at its epicenter.

"Our presence here allows us to be physically closer to leading Swedish and European OEMs, enabling faster collaboration and solving their core business challenges with our software, hardware design and manufacturing engineering capabilities.

"We are excited to work with local talent, harness Sweden’s focus on technology and green transition, and co-develop solutions for challenges of mobility OEMS globally."

For over two decades, KPIT has been a strategic partner to top European mobility OEMs.

The company's expansion into Sweden enhances its existing network, which includes centres in Germany, the UK, France, Italy, and beyond.

This extension is part of KPIT's global delivery network that spans the US, Japan, China, Thailand, India, and Tunisia.

The inauguration event at Lindholmen was attended by Swedish and European automotive OEMs, academic leaders, and representatives from the Swedish government, Business Sweden, and other key stakeholders.

Business Region Göteborg CEO Patrik Andersson said: "This is a strategically important investment for the Gothenburg region. The fact that KPIT Technologies is expanding here strengthens the capacity of our automotive cluster and confirms our city’s importance as a global hotspot in software-defined mobility and transport.
