Rightware is a Finnish software development company that provides user interface software for automotive and other embedded industries. Headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, Rightware has offices in Silicon Valley, Detroit, Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, London and Munich. In 2015, Deloitte nominated Rightware on its "Fast 50" list of 50 fastest growing tech companies.
Rightware was founded in December 2009 after it received a €3 million investment to acquire the mobile business unit from Futuremark.
In January 2011, Rightware officially released their UI design software called Kanzi UI Solution, and demonstrated a stereoscopic 3D home screen for Android made by Kanzi at Mobile World Congress 2011.
In 2013 it was announced that Audi was using Rightware's Kanzi software for developing digital user interfaces for Audi cars. The first commercial vehicle (Audi A3) with Kanzi technology was shipped in June 2012. At CES 2014, Audi revealed its fully digital Virtual Cockpit instrument cluster, created using Rightware Kanzi.
In May 2013, Rightware raised another $5.2 million in venture capital funding.
On May 7, 2015, Rightware divested its graphics benchmarking business to Basemark, a newly formed Helsinki-based company in a management buyout deal.
