Tekcapital plc (AIM: TEK), the UK intellectual property (IP)
investment group focused on creating marketplace value from

He served also as a Senior Executive at Nokia Siemens Networks,
North America. During his career, Harald has proven his
capabilities as a global manager, transforming and building
businesses in the U.S., Europe, Asia and Africa.
Harald has been a prominent standards influencer and spokesman
for the telecommunications industry. He has served as treasurer of
the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) and
was a member of its executive board. He served on the Board of
Directors of BigBand Networks (NASDAQ: BBND, acquired by ARRIS), on

"It's an exciting time to be appointed as the Chairman of
Guident and to position the company as a world class innovator in
the Artificial Intelligence (AI) autonomous vehicle market. Global
market momentum is rapidly building up and with the emergence of 5G
mobile network technology the use cases and the foundation for
"Vehicle to anything" (V2X) communication are established. I'm
looking forward to contributing to the growth and success of
Guident," said Harald Braun.
Dr. Clifford Gross, Chairman at Tekcapital commented: "We are
delighted that Guident has appointed Harald Braun as its Chairman.
He is a successful senior executive with the skills and experience
necessary to commercialize Guident's patented technology with
autonomous vehicle and drone manufacturers." According to Market
Research Future(1) the autonomous vehicle market is expected to
reach US $65.3 billion by 2027.
About Guident, Ltd.
Guident was established by Tekcapital to commercialise new
technology to enhance the utility, safety and enjoyment of
autonomous vehicles and drones. It has exclusively licensed U.S.
Patent # 9,429,943 from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical
University. This patented technology has the potential to enable
the development of software apps for controlling autonomous
vehicles such as cars, trucks and drones using artificial
intelligence. As an example, with this new technology, the
directors of Tekcapital believe that it is possible to develop apps
that allow users of autonomous vehicles to dispatch their vehicles
to join ride sharing pools or identify available parking spots, and
later retrieve their vehicles when they are ready to go on to their
next destination.
