Micro-companies Innovating in Automotive Industries

Unlocking the Future of Mobility: A Closer Look at Emerging Innovators

Are you a venture capitalist seeking hidden gems in the automotive sector? Perhaps you’re a corporate strategist scouting for future partnerships, or a tech enthusiast looking to stay ahead of emerging trends. Maybe you’re part of an automotive R&D team, always on the lookout for innovative solutions, or even an academic researcher studying the future of mobility. If you’re interested in companies operating in stealth mode—those with little to no internet presence but future potential for disruptive innovation—this list is for you.

Each week, we will explore patent filings to uncover micro to small entities that are flying under the radar in the automotive industry. These micro-companies are not yet on the mainstream map, but they are innovating from behind the curtains. By leveraging the USPTO’s small entity status, these companies are protecting their innovations while driving technological advancements that will shape the future.

Why is this relevant to you?

Over 60% of the most innovative automotive companies in the U.S. are filing patents

to protect their cutting-edge technologies. Whether you’re an investor, a business leader, or a researcher, staying informed about these companies gives you a distinct advantage. By analyzing patent data from the last five years (starting January 1, 2020), we’ve identified the top micro-entities in the automotive sector. These are startups with fewer than 500 employees, whose technologies could be at the forefront of the next generation of mobility.
