In our view, it is still a +358 50 3460 321 good time to jump on board the growth story as market trends continue to gain momentum, Qt’s investments are proven [email protected] and bearing fruit, but still the market has somewhat neglected the company as it is still burdened by earnings’ in the red due to the growth investments. The digital society is being built using tools by Qt Qt develops, productizes, and licenses software development tools based on Qt technology by means of open sourced and commercialized licenses. The company’s products are used to develop applications for embedded devices as well as graphic user interfaces for desktop, mobile, and embedded devices. An increasing amount of Qt’s customers’ industries are facing a turning point. The value creation for their products is transitioning from the device to software and services, which is why the customers are in need of knowhow and tools to develop graphic interfaces. The Qt cross-platform development Recommendation and target price framework as a technology enables this transition. The business model is highly scalable. It is based on licenses sold to developers, and distribution licenses, where the income is based on sales volumes of the end devices that use Qt Buy technology. Previous: Buy Lack of developers and graphic user interfaces gaining popularity drive market growth 10.0 EUR Many of the industries in which Qt Group’s customers operate are at the verge of making long term choices on technology, Previous : 10.0 and they are searching for a competitive edge and differentiating factors by introducing software and digital services as part of their products. This means that graphic user interfaces will continue to gain popularity in embedded devices, for which Qt Share price : 8.3 EUR offers the development tools required. The software industry is also in constant need of more efficient and powerful tools, Potential 20.5 % as the demand for software developer’s exceeds supply. In the embedded devices’ market, the competitive field is still largely open and fragmented, which is why Qt Group is well positioned to take advantage of these amplifying market trends. According to a user survey conducted by Forrester and user interviews conducted by Inderes, the Qt framework is a strong choice for technology in especially embedded devices, which is still a very early stage growth market.

  • KDE Free Qt Foundation Strengthens Qt
    How the KDE Free Qt Foundation strengthens Qt by Olaf Schmidt-Wischhöfer (board member of the foundation)1, December 2019 Executive summary The development framework Qt is available both as Open Source and under paid license terms. Two decades ago, when Qt 2.0 was first released as Open Source, this was excep- tional. Today, most popular developing frameworks are Free/Open Source Software2. Without the dual licensing approach, Qt would not exist today as a popular high-quality framework. There is another aspect of Qt licensing which is still very exceptional today, and which is not as well-known as it ought to be. The Open Source availability of Qt is legally protected through the by-laws and contracts of a foundation. 1 I thank Eike Hein, board member of KDE e.V., for contributing. 2 I use the terms “Open Source” and “Free Software” interchangeably here. Both have a long history, and the exact differences between them do not matter for the purposes of this text. How the KDE Free Qt Foundation strengthens Qt 2 / 19 The KDE Free Qt Foundation was created in 1998 and guarantees the continued availabil- ity of Qt as Free/Open Source Software3. When it was set up, Qt was developed by Troll- tech, its original company. The foundation supported Qt through the transitions first to Nokia and then to Digia and to The Qt Company. In case The Qt Company would ever attempt to close down Open Source Qt, the founda- tion is entitled to publish Qt under the BSD license. This notable legal guarantee strengthens Qt.

  • Qt Conquers the Automotive Interior
    EBOOK Qt Conquers the Automotive Interior Qt Conquers the Automotive Interior 1 The Qt Company About this eBook To successfully woo drivers and passengers, the car’s interior screens – digital instrument clusters, heads-up displays, infotainment systems, and rear-seat entertainment systems – have always required responsive graphics and reliable performance. Increasingly, these displays must also meet functional safety standards with very rapid design- to-development production cycles. This eBook is about the development of today’s sophisticated digital car interiors and why Qt turns out to be the platform of choice. We’ll look at trends driving automotive user interfaces and see how Qt addresses them. We’ll delve into the special relationship between UX designers and software engineers to see how that interaction can be streamlined with Qt. And we’ll end by examining a couple of case studies where Qt in the car comes together. Qt Conquers the Automotive Interior 2 The Qt Company The challenges of building for automotive As every automotive engineer knows, building an automotive system is not just a matter of slapping together mobile-phone and navigation technology and put- ting it into a dash. An automotive platform must adhere to stringent standards – both internal and external – for quality and reliability. It must be built with the lowest possible cost, operate smoothly at 60 frames per second, and make parts available for fifteen years. It must support multiple different geographies and cultures, and be customizable across model lines. It must also be booting fast to allow the driver to operate with the information provided by the instrument cluster as soon as the ignition key is inserted.
