Thomas Stottan trained as an engineer at the Federal College for Communications Engineering and Electronics - after this training phase, he worked as a production manager for a large Austrian electronics company. In addition to his love of amateur radio, he also trained as a sound and acoustic engineer. He then founded AUDIO MOBIL Elektronik GmbH, for which he developed countless innovations in the automotive industry and saw them through to series production. Stottan is a co-founder of technical advances in the xFCD and HMI sectors and is developing the future of ICT in the context of the automobile based on his many years of experience and incorporating the latest research findings.
His knowledge and "thinking outside the box" are often used for lectures and expert talks.
