To help increase collaboration between new suppliers, SMEs and OEMs to lower manufacturing costs and enable smarter scaling

Global automotive design icon and renowned entrepreneur, Henrik Fisker, has joined forces with Berlin-based motec ventures in an advisory role. The entity is a collaboration between German automotive and mobility consulting firm, e&Co. AG and Venionaire Capital, one of Austria's leading venture capital firms. In addition, Fisker Inc. will engage in co-investment opportunities that may be synergistic with the OEMs upcoming vehicle lineup, as well as the proprietary Fisker Solid-State Battery program.

With a robust combination of industry expertise and resources for investment, motec is a driving force in discovering and cultivating new, agile and innovative technology companies that will usher in a new wave of experiences inside and outside of a vehicle. From mass electrification across the globe, EV architecture to ride sharing applications and everything in between, the project is aimed at tapping into the hotbed of engineering and tech talent in Germany, Europe and abroad.

Fisker - famous for having designed some of the most stunning vehicles in history, from the BMW Z8, the Aston Martin DB9/V8 Vantage, the Fisker Karma to the new Fisker EMotion luxury electric sedan - will support managing directors Berthold Baurek-Karlic and Geza Brugger through regular discourse on technical and entrepreneurial issues. The group's focus will also center on increasing collaboration between small and medium-sized enterprises, global OEMs and promising new suppliers to help drive down manufacturing costs and to enable smarter scaling. SMEs are the strong backbone of Europe's manufacturing industries.
