Micware Launches Growth Strategy Connecting Mobility and Digital Spaces with AI at its Core

With its two platforms “micAuto” and “DynaPlanet”, Micware aims to evolve into a business where technology assets continuously create value

KOBE, Japan, Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Micware Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: MWC) (the “Company” or “Micware”), a Japan-based provider of software development services and innovative IT solutions mainly focused on the automotive and mobility sectors, today announced the launch of a platform-based growth strategy designed to convert the technologies, data, and development expertise it has accumulated through in-vehicle software development into sustained value. By positioning mobility and digital spaces as new growth domains, Micware aims to evolve from a business centered on individual development projects into one that can deploy its technology assets more broadly.

The two platforms supporting this strategy are “micAuto” in the mobility domain and “DynaPlanet,” which connects the physical and digital worlds. The strategic direction of these platforms is reflected in newly introduced logos. Micware has disclosed details of the growth strategies and key performance indicators (KPIs) for both platforms on its IR website.

Two Platforms Driving the Growth Strategy
Micware positions micAuto as a bridge that connects people, cities, and mobility through movement. The “A” in the logo represents connections expanding toward the future.

DynaPlanet is a digital three-dimensional space where people and AI intersect, and new value is created. The “D” in the logo represents a form that embraces people, things, and experiences while expanding connections.

micAuto — From Supporting OEM Development Transformation to Mobility Physical AI
micAuto is a platform that leverages in-vehicle software assets to support original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in transforming their development processes. While maintaining its foundation in the in-vehicle infotainment system (IVI) domain, Micware plans to expand its business areas into autonomous driving (AD)/ advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), connected services, and quality assurance.

Looking ahead, Micware aims to realize “Mobility Physical Artificial Intelligence (AI),” in which mobility systems understand their surrounding environments and support people in a more intuitive and context-aware manner.

DynaPlanet — A Three-Dimensional (3D) Intelligence Ecosystem Supported by Three 3D Layers
DynaPlanet, the other strategic pillar, is a spatial platform that aims to connect “Real 3D Interiors,” “Real 3D Cities,” and “Virtual 3D Worlds” on a single foundation.

“Real 3D Interiors” and “Real 3D Cities” are designed to provide spatial data, licenses, and solutions for enterprises and local governments, while “Virtual 3D Worlds” will be developed as an open space in which users and creators can participate.

By addressing a broad range of applications, including interior design, urban planning, virtual worlds, and games, Micware aims to develop a digital space ecosystem in which content, users, enterprises, and creators interact and create value.

Synergies Between the Two Platforms
micAuto targets mobility moving through the real world, while DynaPlanet targets the surrounding cities and buildings.

Micware intends to promote value creation across mobility, cities, facilities, and logistics by utilizing sensor data derived from mobility for spatial generation and updates, and by applying analysis and simulations conducted in digital spaces back to real-world services.

Evolution of the Business Model and Future Growth Strategy
Micware aims to implement its technologies, software, data, and development expertise as reusable assets within its platforms, and to evolve into a business structure that delivers value through services, licensing, and data provision. This represents Micware’s next stage of growth toward “Be There Be Now — toward a world that naturally inspires people to go out.”
