Privacy-First Car OS Without Google – Petteri Paasila, CEO & Founder | Seafarix

Petteri Paasila explains how Seafarix is helping OEMs build software-defined—and soon AI-defined—vehicles without relying on Google’s Android stack. Originating from Nokia/Jolla’s Linux heritage, Seafarix delivers modular “app support” that lets carmakers run Android apps on a Linux platform, enabling modern cockpit experiences while preserving data control and platform independence. In just two years with a 10-person team, the company has onboarded major OEM momentum across Europe and Asia, including production-track work with a leading Korean manufacturer, strong pull from privacy-conscious Japanese OEMs, and a notable use case with BYD for global-market vehicles that require trusted, Europe-grade software. Paasila also outlines Seafarix’s next layer: edge-based, privacy-focused in-car AI to keep personal data (messages, calendars, emails) off the cloud. Seafarix is raising a €1M convertible bridge ahead of a priced Series A later in the year. About the speaker: Petteri Paasila is CEO and Co-Founder of Seafarix, a Finland-based software company delivering advanced automotive solutions. With over 20 years in telecom and technology, he previously led sales and business development at Jolla, driving global adoption of Sailfish OS and spearheading its expansion into automotive infotainment, enabling OEMs to retain strategic independence.
