Yanfeng Automotive Interiors begins partnership with innovation platform STARTUP AUTOBAHN / Cooperation between two strong visionary partners

Neuss (ots) - Yanfeng Automotive Interiors (YFAI), the world's
leading supplier of automotive interiors, is the new partner of
innovation platform Startup Autobahn in Stuttgart. With an extensive
support program, the platform assists startups from the mobility
sector and brings them together with established companies and
research facilities. Startup Autobahn is part of the Plug and Play
global mobility ecosystem, which YFAI joined in 2018.

"As our recently unveiled XiM20 interior concept demonstrates,
future mobility opens up entirely new technology and design
possibilities for vehicle interiors," explained Han Hendriks, Chief
Technology Officer for YFAI. "Through our collaboration with Plug and
Play in California, we have made significant progress with our
innovation work. We believe that we will also find strong partners
through Startup Autobahn that help us further advance the evolution
of automotive interiors with visionary technologies."

As Europe's largest platform for open innovation, Startup Autobahn
puts the emphasis on an open exchange of disruptive ideas and
technologies. Stuttgart research factory ARENA2036 offers ideal
conditions for rapid and uncomplicated cooperation between companies
and selected startups from all over the world. YFAI wishes to use
this opportunity to cooperate with young companies on new
technologies for future vehicle interiors.

"The startup scene has a great innovative spirit which we can also
use to the benefit of development work within our company," said Han
Hendriks. "At the same time, the partnership gives startups access to
our many years of expertise in the automotive industry."

Sascha Karimpour, Managing Director of Plug and Play Germany, said
of the new partnership: "With its clear vision for the future of
vehicle interiors, YFAI is an important partner for our innovation
platform. Through direct dialog with the mobility startup scene,
Startup Autobahn provides the ideal environment for further
development of the passenger experience."
