Electric vehicles are all the rage, but can they truly deliver on both power and efficiency? BMW Group wasn't satisfied with the trade-offs. That's why we were so excited to discover DeepDrive's double rotor electric motor technology at #IAA2021. We saw the potential for a breakthrough and after successfully enabling a pilot between BMW Group and DeepDrive, the partnership is now moving to real-world testing! If you want to see the future of electric mobility unfold, tune in to our latest video below or our press release in the comments for all the details on this exciting partnership! #StartupPartnership #StartupSolution #ElectricVehicles #Innovation

"In 2023, OSB worked with a wide variety of startups, including some with international operations whether that be manufacturing, remote piloting, or general management. This inherently comes with pros and cons that are important to consider when structuring a partnership. For example, by working with a startup that had made significant technological and regulatory progress in a country with less restrictive drone regulations, we were able to leverage their advanced experience in our pilot with them. On the other hand, an international startup we are partnered with was faced with challenges that disrupted their supply chain, leading to a cessation of manufacturing operations, delay in teleoperations, and disruption of tech support." — Hannah Ranieri We’re proud to work with international clients and partners. Whether it’s working with a European based startup, a LATAM based venture capital group, designing a U.S. based pilot with an international startup, or sourcing technologies across many continents, we consistently have a global view of innovation. In 2023, we worked across 11 countries.
