The transformation of the automotive industry through the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) concept increasingly places software at the center of modern vehicle development. This approach brings new possibilities in terms of flexibility, upgrades, and the long-term evolution of automotive systems.

In this context, open-source software has become a vital catalyst. By fostering collaborative development of foundational components and establishing open standards, it enables the industry to reduce fragmentation and focus on high-value innovation. Within ecosystems like Eclipse SDV, open source acts as the backbone of the "Software-First" approach, ensuring interoperability and long-term sustainability for next-generation vehicle architectures.

Through sessions dedicated to the automotive sector and the broader open-source ecosystem, OCX 2026 in Brussels brings together key players working on in-vehicle systems, cloud-to-edge platforms, and advanced software architectures.

RT-RK will be represented at this year’s event by Günter Gromeier, Executive Vice President Automotive.

This is an excellent opportunity to connect with partners, exchange experiences, and explore new collaborations at the intersection of open-source innovation and automotive excellence.

We look forward to seeing you in Brussels!
