In line with the Bosch strategy, Bosch Business Innovations has defined business areas in which investments are to be prioritized and in which the market dynamics as well as Bosch’s competencies and technological expertise fit together perfectly. Initially, these are software-controlled manufacturing, remote medical monitoring and the capture, use and storage of greenhouse gases. Further business areas are planned over the next four years. The aim is to have 20 successful start-ups in operation by 2030.
“We have always evolved by identifying and investing in new technologies early and decisively – because innovation is our most important currency. With this funding, we are now significantly strengthening Bosch Business Innovations. Here, new ideas have a home and the space to flourish.”
Axel Deniz, Member of the Board of Management of Bosch Business Innovations, adds: “Our aim is to systematically develop new ideas beyond our current core business. To achieve this, we are relying on Bosch’s strengths, in particular its technological expertise and patent power. We combine this structural advantage of a large company with the speed and flexibility of the start-up world.”
Bosch Business Innovations accelerates market maturity with partnerships
In order to bring both worlds together in the best possible way, Bosch Business Innovations relies on a partnership model. Together with experienced venture studios, Bosch builds new business ideas from the ground up and brings them quickly to market maturity. Bosch specifically combines its own strengths – from technological expertise and patent power to industrial scaling – with the speed of implementation and venture-building expertise of external partners. This creates a model in which opportunities and risks are consciously shared and innovation is consistently implemented.
The founders are at the center of this: Bosch Business Innovations is also open to external entrepreneurial personalities and gives them a decisive head start. They are involved in the company at an early stage, take on responsibility and play an active role in shaping it from the very beginning. In addition, external investors are involved at an early stage in order to tap into additional capital and market access. The approach is flanked by specialized partners who contribute market and technology trends and provide access to international start-up ecosystems.
Growth market for remote medical monitoring
In the field of remote health monitoring, Bosch Business Innovations sees a rapidly growing, yet fragmented market. Bosch already has a strong healthcare ecosystem, including the Robert Bosch Hospital and numerous hospital partnerships. Added to this is Bosch’s technological expertise. Among other things, the company is the global market leader for MEMS sensors, which are indispensable in remote health monitoring.
In the field of software-controlled manufacturing, Bosch is relying on its own industrial strength as well as its expertise in data, software and AI. Targeted investments in start-ups are intended to create platform-based business models for software in production.
Carbon capturing as the third defined investment area remains a strategic area of development. Bosch is examining ways in which industrial decarbonization and CO₂ removal from the ambient air can be implemented in business models.
Bosch Business Innovations repositions existing portfolio
Bosch Business Innovations has evolved from the wholly owned Bosch subsidiary grow platform, which developed internal start-ups within the company. The existing portfolio was reorganized by Bosch Business Innovations. The aim is to create viable future prospects within or outside Bosch for all existing teams. For example, Bosch Advanced Ceramics reached an important milestone at the end of 2025: the specialist in ceramic 3D printing was successfully sold to Sintokogio, a leading provider of industrial equipment and manufacturing solutions.
Bosch Business Innovations is thus establishing itself as a further pillar of innovation activity at Bosch alongside the company-wide extensive research and development activities and the already established venture capital subsidiary, Bosch Ventures.
