Onboard Ventures

Onboard Ventures was established as the open-innovation initiative of Ficosa and Idneo in 2017, designed to bridge the gap between ambitious startups and established corporations. The initiative aimed to support technology startups by providing access to Ficosa and Idneo's assets, including industrialization capacity, productization resources, and sector knowledge. Historically, Onboard Ventures focused on sectors such as automotive, mobility, Industry 4.0, and medical equipment, facilitating partnerships that could lead to scalable business solutions. However, recent research indicates that the initiative may no longer be operational, with the official website returning a 404 error and no recent activity documented since 2017.

Onboard Ventures offers significant value to its portfolio companies by providing access to Ficosa and Idneo's technological resources, manufacturing capabilities, and client networks. This support is designed to help startups scale their innovations and navigate the complexities of productization and industrialization in the automotive and mobility sectors.
