XPLORA: from Tel Aviv to Barcelona
XPLORA is making progress towards real solutions
SEAT Digital Officer Fabian Simmer and Head of Business Development Arantxa Alonso, alongside Noveto’s Chairman Daniel Jammer and Tomer Shani have signed the agreement sealing the launch of the project that aims to present its conclusions next December. Champion Motors Ltd., the brand’s importer in Israel, is also closely collaborating in the project.
“Applying this new technology will enable us to open a world of possibilities for privately owned vehicles, and especially for shared vehicles. Being able to share your car and maintain your privacy is certainly a challenge that seems increasingly achievable, with solutions like the one proposed by Noveto which we hope to feature in our vehicles”, pointed out SEAT Digital Officer Fabian Simmer. “SEAT aims to be a driver of innovation in the development of this kind of tech solutions, and we are particularly proud of the progress shown by XPLORA. We hope this is the first of many disruptive projects” he concluded.
“SEAT’s history of leading innovation in automobile market make them an ideal partner to help us accelerate the integration of Noveto’s revolutionary technology into the car,” said Brian Wallace, CEO of Noveto. “Both companies have a shared vision for how Noveto’s proprietary technology can help SEAT continue to maintain this leadership position while helping to transform the transform the driving experience for SEAT’s customers for the better.”
XPLORA, the road to the future
This recently launched project stems from XPLORA, an initiative aimed at promoting relations with new technology and mobility-related Israeli startups and stakeholders and identify innovative projects that in the future could lead to new solutions and business models for SEAT.
The collaboration with Noveto is the first of 8 business opportunities that SEAT has been entertaining since June this year, once the initial stage of the XPLORA project has ended. The team has made successful progress in terms of selecting projects and partners that could become a real opportunity to generate solutions applicable to SEAT vehicles. With the concept test now underway, the creation of this initiative and its real impact on the process of creating a car, as well as the different solutions that will shape future mobility are proving to be a demonstrable success.
