Our mission

To be the engineering partner that automotive companies trust to deliver their most critical software platforms.

We combine deep Android Automotive expertise with the engineering discipline and quality standards that premium vehicle programs demand. Our team doesn't just write code — we architect solutions that ship in millions of vehicles.

Our story

TechLisbon was born from firsthand experience with the challenges automotive companies face when adopting Android Automotive. Our founders spent years inside OEM engineering organizations, witnessing the gap between what the industry needed and what traditional consultancies could deliver.

We built TechLisbon to bridge that gap — a consultancy that combines the technical depth of a product engineering team with the flexibility and scalability of an external partner. Headquartered in Gothenburg, at the epicenter of Scandinavian automotive innovation, and with an engineering hub in Lisbon, we bring together the best engineering talent from across Europe.

What drives us

Engineering Excellence

We believe in doing things right. Every line of code, every architecture decision, every test — quality is non-negotiable.

Deep Specialization

We chose to be the best at a few things rather than mediocre at many. Automotive software engineering is our entire focus.

Transparent Partnership

We operate with full transparency. No hidden teams, no surprises. You know exactly who works on your project and how.

Knowledge Transfer

We don't create dependencies. We build capabilities within your team and leave you stronger than we found you.
