#Embevity, #Tenka, #Embedded, #IndustrialDesign, #Collaboration

Introduction:

The embedded systems market is changing rapidly, which requires outsourcing companies to take decisive business moves and remain open to the growing expectations of clients. One of the key requirements is comprehensiveness, which is why Embevity and Tenka have formed a partnership to deliver value through embedded systems expertise and industrial design know-how, helping clients achieve their technology goals faster and in an end-to-end manner.

Why is comprehensiveness so important in embedded services outsourcing in 2025?

In 2025, embedded systems outsourcing is becoming increasingly strategic, rather than purely operational. Recent research shows that:

Companies expect their partners not only to execute tasks but also to actively contribute to the innovation process, manage risks, and ensure compliance with industry regulations. Therefore, the comprehensiveness of projects is a key factor when choosing a collaboration partner.

This understanding led us to form a partnership with an experienced partner in industrial design, who will support our projects at the intersection of embedded systems and product design. We recognize how crucial it is to offer comprehensive solutions to our clients.
