Akimbo Technologies is extremely proud that our DEFENSA software solution was recently selected for the Canadian Technology Accelerator Program for AutoTech Germany.

As a result, Akimbo Technologies Inc. have been chosen by 2 leading industry executives ( Julia Sendtner from AUDI AG and Dr. Olaf Biedermann from Continental ) for mentoring. The knowledge and insight that our mentors bring to us will prove invaluable, as we move forward with our German industry engagements in the next several weeks.

Revealed recently, DEFENSA is our software solution which delivers ‘in-vehicle’ real-time active safety and cybersecurity protection that detects, corrects, and heals anomalies without reliance on an external network connection.

Automotive is Germany’s largest industrial sector embedded in Europe’s largest economy. The German auto industry faces challenges in developing digital-based solutions for in-vehicle, mobility eco-systems and production environment demands. The three major German Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) including Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are actively seeking new technology and have launched tech innovation scouting platforms. The German groups recognize Canada as a source of innovation. The Canadian Technology Accelerator (CTA) program will help us grow by capitalizing on opportunities to achieve our goals in this market.
