Supporting mobility on the road to Electrification, Autonomy and Connectivity
Automotive Industry Taxonomy
We developed the first Automotive Taxonomy in 2018 in collaboration with a number of OEMs and their suppliers. Today, we are the leading provider of custom taxonomies for those needing to navigate patented technologies across the entire automative ecosystem.
With Cipher, in a few hours I can produce a high quality, insightful report where previously I would pay $20,000 and wait 2 months – for a report that didn’t answer my questions.
