About Speedgoat
Speedgoat is a technology provider specializing in real-time systems, headquartered in Liebefeld near Bern, Switzerland. The company develops and manufactures Real-Time Target Machines, I/O modules, software, and custom rack systems for Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP), Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation (HIL), and Embedded Deployment. The systems are exclusively optimized for MATLAB and Simulink and Simulink Real-Time from MathWorks and include multicore CPU- and FPGA-based target computers, more than 150 I/O module types, signal conditioning, and engineering services ranging from system integration to FPGA and protocol development and FAT/SAT acceptance testing. They thereby serve the verification and validation of control systems along the complete Model-Based Design workflow. Customers include high-tech companies from automotive, aerospace, industrial automation, energy technology, electrification, and battery management, as well as universities. Manufacturing and development take place at the Liebefeld site; additional sites exist in Munich, Framingham (USA), and Suzhou (China). Products are distributed worldwide, with roughly 40% of customers in EMEA, 40% in the Americas, and 20% in the Asia-Pacific region.
