Budapest, 2025. 12. 05. - NNG, a leading global provider of automotive software solutions with over 20 years of industry experience, today announced a strategic partnership with Japan-based Micware Navigations (Micware), a recognized leader in in-vehicle software engineering with a proven legacy of automotive innovation.

The collaboration combines NNG’s global reach and scalability with Micware’s deep knowledge of the Japanese market to deliver comprehensive connected mobility and HMI cockpit solutions worldwide.

Under the agreement, the two companies will jointly deliver navigation systems, ADAS products, and location-based services for global programs. NNG will cover international markets, while Micware will lead in Japan. In practical terms, this means automakers can now rely on a unified, market-ready solution, with Micware providing localized navigation for Japan and NNG extending its globally proven software worldwide.

The partnership supports global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, including Japanese automakers striving to provide global solutions and international automakers seeking to strengthen their presence in the Japanese market, on their journey toward software-defined vehicles (SDVs), safety-enhanced, AI-powered in-cabin experiences, and advanced HMI cockpit solutions. It reflects both companies’ vision to play a leading role in the software-driven transformation of the industry.

“Automotive software innovation requires both global integration and strong local expertise,” said David Wiernik, President of NNG. “This partnership unites those two dimensions. By combining our global presence with Micware’s proven track record in Japan, we are ready to help OEMs accelerate the transformation toward next-generation, intelligent, and user-centric vehicles.”

Kenta Imaida, CEO of Micware Navigations, said: “This partnership enables us to extend our strengths in the Japanese market into global programs. By working with NNG, we will support automakers and suppliers in addressing both the challenges and the opportunities of the software-driven era.”

With more than four decades of combined expertise in automotive software, this partnership empowers automakers to navigate the shift to SDVs, enhance driver and passenger safety, and deliver next-generation cockpit and mobility experiences while remaining competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape.

This announcement follows NNG’s established track record of global partnerships and reflects both companies’ long-term commitment to delivering reliable, future-ready automotive software solutions.
