Volkswagen subsidiary launched its digital division based in
Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart a year ago to develop digital
services for the premium segment.

analyst at technology consulting firm Gartner.
"The car is the ultimate mobile device of the future, and the
future is being written in Silicon Valley," Koslowski said in a
statement on Friday.

to leading IT companies in the USA, as this allows us to
identify trends early and invest in new technologies at the
right time."

E.ventures US and plans to expand such activity through its
office in Santa Clara, California.
