International. Spoke Safety joins the Brembo Ventures portfolio and strengthens the group's expertise in software and cloud connectivity.
Brembo, the braking systems company, is investing in advanced connected mobility solutions by acquiring a stake in Spoke Safety, a US startup specializing in the development of digital communication technologies between vehicles and the road ecosystem.
With this investment, Brembo continues its journey to improve its software expertise and cloud connectivity for the digital innovation of its solutions. The aim is to facilitate the communication of braking systems with other connected elements in the surrounding environment.
"The investment in Spoke Safety is another step towards the digital innovation of our braking systems," said Daniele Schillaci, CEO of Brembo. "Our vision for the near future is to enable the braking system to communicate and interact not only with the equipped vehicle, but with the entire road ecosystem, including other vehicles, infrastructures and communication networks, improving the driving experience and safety."
Brembo has already started a research project with Spoke Safety. The collaboration began thanks to the Brembo Inspiration Lab in Silicon Valley, which aims to find innovative startups that can contribute to Brembo's evolution focused on software and artificial intelligence.
Spoke Safety was founded in Denver, Colorado, in 2020. Its solutions are based on Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology, a communication system that connects vehicles in real time with other vehicles, road users such as cyclists and smart city infrastructures, such as traffic lights, with the aim of improving the driving experience and promoting greater road safety.
