"There is huge potential for Luxoft to grow Objective's solutions to benefit new and existing customers," said Clemens Dannheim, the co-CEO of Objective . "Both the Company's culture and like-minded approach to building advanced automotive solutions make for a well matched acquisition. With advanced connected mobility services and autonomous cars already on our streets, we wanted to take this opportunity to scale our business and effect the changes revolutionizing the automotive industry on a global scale."
