Altia

What Altia does

Altia provides human-machine interface (HMI) and graphical user interface (GUI) development software for production-grade embedded displays. Its toolchain spans Altia Design (a UI design and simulation editor), Altia DeepScreen (an automatic C code generator that targets optimized, low-memory-footprint graphics for embedded hardware), Altia CloudWare (cloud-based hardware access for remote GUI development and testing), Altia Learn (on-demand training), Altia AI (a natural-language assistant for design creation, debugging, and optimization), and Altia Safety Monitor (a functionally safe runtime monitoring component with ISO 26262:2018 tool qualification). The platform supports a broad range of operating systems (Android, Linux, QNX Neutrino, Green Hills INTEGRITY, FreeRTOS, ThreadX, Wind River VxWorks, AUTOSAR OSEK, iOS, Windows, and bare-metal) and is co-engineered with major automotive silicon vendors including Renesas, NXP, Infineon, Qualcomm, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, Samsung, MediaTek, and Telechips.

The company primarily serves automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers — Hyundai/Kia, Renault, GM, Ford, and Denso, among others — for digital cockpits, instrument clusters, infotainment, HUD, and EV charging displays, and is expanding into medical devices (Medtronic, Tandem Diabetes Care, DIAM), consumer goods and home appliances, and off-highway/industrial vehicles. Altia reports its software is designed into over 100 million production vehicles and devices across 375+ vehicle models, and claims 99% customer satisfaction and 50% time savings versus traditional hand-coding approaches. Certification and process credentials include ISO 26262:2018 tool qualification from UL Solutions and ASPICE Level 2.

Altia is a privately held company (no public ticker), headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with a wholly owned EMEA subsidiary (Altia Europe GmbH) and an APAC regional office in Seoul opened in 2020. Its revenue mix combines subscription-based software licenses (Altia Design, DeepScreen, CloudWare, Altia Learn), professional engineering services for integration, porting, and certification support, and a freemium entry point via altia.com/get-started. Founded around 1991, Altia has maintained continuous operation for over 30 years with disclosed funding limited to approximately $3.4M cumulatively across a 2011 FirstMile Ventures round and a 2022 filing.
