Collaborations stem from DXC’s partnership with STARTUP AUTOBAHN
Virginia, USA-headquartered DXC Technology, a leading Fortune 500 global technology services provider, has announced cutting-edge collaborations with Acumino, CAMB.AI, and GreenMatterAI, to develop AI solutions for the automotive and manufacturing industries.
The initiatives are part of DXC’s long-standing partnership with STARTUP AUTOBAHN powered by Plug and Play, a global innovation platform that facilitates collaboration between promising early-stage innovators and large enterprises in the field of mobility.
“Through our collaboration with STARTUP AUTOBAHN and the incredible startups in their ecosystem, we’re not just experimenting with AI, we’re pushing industries forward by solving some of our customers’ most pressing challenges,” noted Karim Jeribi, Vice President Global Industries, DXC Technology.
Collaboration
Through its collaboration with STARTUP AUTOBAHN, DXC has so far selected over 100 emerging technology companies and launched over 25 pilots and customer projects, transforming innovation into real-world impact.
“As industries accelerate their push to integrate AI into mission-critical systems, DXC is an immensely valuable partner to bridge the gap between early innovation and enterprise deployment – co-developing, testing, and scaling emerging technologies to help companies reduce cost, speed time-to-market, and unlock competitive advantage,” stated Sascha Karimpour, Partner at Plug and Play.
Dubai-based AI localization company CAMB.AI is working with DXC to develop an intelligent AI-powered real-time speech translation solution that aims to improve traffic interpretation in vehicles worldwide.
Confident driving experience
The solution supports safer and more confident driving experiences for international users, turning complex, multilingual environments into effortlessly navigable journeys through live conversation translation, multilingual street sign recognition, and traffic rule explanations – all embedded within the vehicle’s digital cockpit.
Seattle-based AI and robotics startup Acuminous is partnering with DXC to explore how general robotic intelligence can enable faster, more dynamic deployment of robotic tasks for scalable automation – particularly in complex production environments with high product variety and small batch sizes, where traditional robot solutions are often too rigid or complex to be economically viable.
At Expo 2025 in June, STARTUP AUTOBAHN’s yearly flagship event, Acuminous showcased early results from a proof-of-concept study they are performing successfully together with Schaeffler, a globally leading motion technology company, headquartered in Germany.
Extensive experience
Leveraging its extensive experience in advanced production technology, Schaeffler identified for Acuminous technical possibilities highly relevant industrial use-cases in packaging automation. Using Acuminous AI-powered human-in-the-loop training system and DXC’s expertise in large-scale Iao deployments, outcomes can now be transferred to further industrial partners, enabling robots to quickly learn new tasks with human-like dexterity and accelerating the adoption of intelligent, safe robotics.
This cross-company collaboration earned the 2025 Global Plug and Play Innovation Award, which recognizes impactful partnerships between startups and industry leaders that deliver tangible digital innovations.
Advancing automatic weld experience
Berlin-based startup Geomaterial is partnering with DXC to advance automatic weld inspection. The solution uses a proprietary data generation engine to create precise synthetic training datasets and pre-trained computer vision models, eliminating manual data labelling and solving bottlenecks with real-world data.
These initiatives reflect DXC’s open innovation strategy, which leverages partnerships with emerging companies to accelerate AI adoption and deliver real-world results.
