“We are in a moment when the entire automotive industry is going through a paradigm shift. We want not only to be part of this revolution, but to make a serious contribution to it. OxidOS will reduce the time needed to develop software for car components to half and will massively address the security problems encountered by car manufacturers”, said Alexandru Radovici, co-founder and CEO of OxidOS.
The company was founded by a group of five exceptional Romanian specialists: Alexandru Radovici (CEO), Bogdan Genis (CTO), Vlad Rădulescu (certification), Ioana Culic (R&D) and Daniel Rosner (business development).
The OxidOS team is working on an Operating System and DevTools for embedded software used in the automotive industry. Specifically, with the help of OxidOS, automotive component integrators and OEM software companies will be able to reduce the time needed for certification of automotive software by up to 50% and the development costs by 40%, while contributing to building safer cars, according to the representatives of the startup.
“EGV is investing, as usual, in startups that change paradigms, and OxidOS is the company that will bring change to the automotive industry. Through its investment thesis – Infrastructure for Innovation – EGV takes on the role of capitalizing on such innovative, deep tech companies, with the potential to reshape entire industries and global markets”, stated Dan Calugareanu, partner in Early Game Ventures.
Currently, the automotive software market is growing at an annual average of 24%, as modern cars have more and more microcontrollers (up to 100 in each car) that require specialized software. The Operating System and the DevTools that the OxidOS team is offering will empower software developers and integrators to implement, verify and certify embedded software for Electronic Control Units faster and safer.
