The TTTech Story
It all started with technology, basic research.
TTTech, which stands for Time-Triggered Technology, was established in 1998 as a spin-off of the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) by Professor Hermann Kopetz, his son Georg Kopetz, and his former student Stefan Poledna. Back then, spin-offs with a focus on technology were unheard of in Europe. Our core mission from the outset: to provide reliable computer systems. The basic idea revolved around dependability and real-time safety. How can an overall system keep up safe operation when singular components fail? How can we make safety-critical systems that we use every day in different machines, such as cars, planes, or industrial machinery as dependable and as safe as possible? That was the problem we were trying to solve.
Today, TTTech Group unites technology companies tailoring our core technologies to different markets. There are roughly 2 million cars on the street with automated driving systems based on our technology. Our solutions are installed in more than 10,000 wind turbines that provide millions of households with clean, sustainable energy. Our networking solutions have allowed airplanes to safely cover more than one billion flight hours while two million kilometres were covered by spacecraft in deep space. Trains, trucks, snow groomers, and many other machines clock in billions of operating hours with our solutions on board. For now, we have made good on our promise to make computer systems worldwide as safe and dependable as possible. But the journey is never over. We are excited to find out where it will take us next.
Milestones of innovation
Automotive
TTTech Auto signs a collaboration agreement with Hyundai Autron to work a joint safety software platform solution for series production programs in the area of automated driving.
With the acquisition of Barcelona-based software development company Silicon Gears, TTTech Auto strengthens its team for the growing automated driving business and promotes its international growth strategy.
| "The Autonomous", a global community shaping the future of safe autonomous mobility, gathers the leading players from the autonomous ecosystem with the goal to write the next chapter of automated driving by discussing a global safety reference. |

Corporate
In September 2019, TTTech receives Premium Partner status in Infineon’s partner ecosystem. We are only the second company globally to reach this
status and the first company with a background in autonomous driving solutions and the Industrial Internet of Things, working closely together with the automotive and off-highway industry.
Industrial
| TTTech Industrial is launched as a subsidiary of the TTTech Group. The first mention as an independent company took place in November 2019, when TTTech Industrial announced an intensified collaboration with Intel. Intel will distribute its FPGA products in combination with TSN technology from TTTech Industrial and offer a special TSN version of its Cyclone® V SoC FPGA that includes TTTech Industrial’s TSN Edge IP Solution. |

Off-highway
| TTControl cooperates with Austria’s leading communications provider A1 and A1 Digital, which advises companies on digital transformation. The cooperation enables the connection of mobile machinery with the cloud. This offers customers numerous opportunities and business models through the processing of real-time data. For example, in smart farming, the data of a harvester working on a field can be acquired and stored in the cloud. |
