SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telenav®, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNAV ), a leader in connected car and location-based services today announced the company’s further expansion in Asia with Telenav Korea Limited, and the opening of its office in Incheon, South Korea, an emerging economic hub and innovation center located just west of Seoul.
The office was established to address the growing automotive innovation opportunities in South Korea, further drive business opportunities and accelerate localized product development for Telenav’s automotive platform.
