The IOTA Foundation and High Mobility will be collaborating to power new mobility applications. The new partnership was recently announced by High Mobility in a blog post. Using IOTA’s ledger, High Mobility developers will build new types of applications for the network. This would allow them to have a simplified process of app development.

The collaboration between these two institutions will start via a smart charging blueprint in the IOTA Workspace. By using this workspace, it will be possible for developers to build and test applications using High Mobility’s standardized connected car API.
With this collaboration, the intention is to translate IOTA’s value into the real world. Car applications will be now connected with the charging blueprint. According to Kevin Valdek, CTO of High Mobility, developers would be able to deploy a new range of exciting applications on the IOTA Workspace.
On the mater, he commented:
“With IOTA’s ledger and the team’s vision for future mobility, we will see it being applied by many new services. The type of applications that can be enabled with IOTA’s technology and vehicle data are many […] In the first blueprint we see not only how vehicle data can be put onto a ledger, but also how it can be combined with charging infrastructure and payments.”
The Head of Mobility and Automotive at the IOTA Foundation, Alisa Maas, said that she is convinced that they will solve major pain points in adoption bridging the gap between corporates and developers. In order to do so, she explained that both companies will be deploying easy-to-use and scalable tools.
Users working on the Workspace can have access to lightweight and easy to understand documentation. This charging blueprint will be the first of several blueprints between High Mobility and IOTA. With this partnership, IOTA is confirming the position that High MObility has acquired in the market.
