Antolin and Neural Concept join forces to redefine Automotive Interior Design
Lausanne, Switzerland – February 24, 2026 – Neural Concept, the leading AI-first engineering platform, announced a strategic partnership with Antolin, one of the world's major manufacturers of automotive components and a global supplier of technology solutions for vehicle interiors, to accelerate innovation in automotive interior design through AI-driven engineering.
By embedding AI-native workflows and design copilots into the engineering process, this partnership aims to accelerate design and validation cycles, improve efficiency and foster greater innovation across Antolin's global engineering teams.
Following a successful pilot in 2024, Antolin is now scaling Neural Concept's platform across key product lines. The technology integrates seamlessly with existing design and simulation environments, enabling faster iterations, enhanced teamwork and data-driven insights.
"Artificial intelligence is becoming an essential tool to accelerate innovation and improve design efficiency" – Pedro Santesteban, Group VP – Global Engineering at Antolin
Reinventing Interior Lighting with AI
Interior lighting is an increasingly essential element in elevating driver and passenger experience, while reinforcing brand identity and comfort. In the past, Antolin's R&D teams relied on manual design iterations validated through time-consuming simulations – a process that often stretched over several weeks. This shift strengthens cross-functional cooperation and efficiency across Antolin's teams while meeting the strict safety and performance standards required by global OEMs.
Faster Workflows, Greater Innovation
With an initial focus on lighting systems, Antolin and Neural Concept plan to expand their partnership to other interior components, from plastic parts to complex assemblies. The long-term vision is to reimagine the entire interior design workflow, delivering OEMs faster, more sustainable, and more customizable solutions.
"Automotive interiors are evolving into one of the most critical areas of design differentiation for carmakers. By partnering with Antolin, we are helping their teams explore new creative possibilities in close coordination." – Dr. Pierre Baqué, CEO and co-founder of Neural Concept
By combining Antolin's industrial expertise with Neural Concept's AI-driven design capabilities, both companies aim to reinforce competitiveness and innovation across the automotive value chain.
