Developair Technologies is a Spanish company specialized in developing AI-based tools to transform the whole embedded software development process. Founded in 2018 and based in San Sebastián, it operates primarily in critical applications such as the ones found in the railway, automotive, aviation, and medical devices sectors. The company combines artificial intelligence and formal methodologies to ensure software quality for functional safety regulated environments.

History

Developair Technologies was founded in 2018 by engineer Mikel Pérez, following his professional experience at the CAF Group (Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles). The company was born with the mission of transforming the process of verification and validation of embedded software in critical sectors through the use of artificial intelligence and mathematical modeling techniques.

Since its early days, Developair focused on the railway sector, developing solutions capable of automating traditionally manual and costly tasks within the software development lifecycle. In 2020, the company was selected to participate in BIND 4.0, the Basque Government’s acceleration program, where it worked closely with CAF Group, strengthening its position as a key technology provider in the railway industry.

One of its key milestones was obtaining TÜV SÜD certification, which guarantees compliance with functional safety standards such as ISO 26262 (automotive), EN 50128 (railway), IEC 62304 (medical devices), and IEC 61508 (general functional safety). This certification enabled the company’s expansion into new sectors including automotive, power electronics, and medical devices.

In 2025, the company was selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) to join the “Prepare for Space” program, an initiative aimed at integrating advanced technologies into the European space ecosystem. This recognition marked a major step in the company's market positioning.

In just a few years, Developair has evolved from a local startup into a leading company in the field of safe embedded software, with a strong focus on efficiency, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
