Bosch Ventures, the investment subsidiary of the Bosch Group, has launched a new venture capital fund worth 250 million euros ($270 million). Despite global uncertainties, the company wants to underline its claim to be a long-term partner for technology-oriented start-ups. The aim of the fund is to promote disruptive innovations and at the same time generate strategic impetus for the Bosch divisions.

The investment strategy focuses on deep-tech companies with a focus on artificial intelligence and energy efficiency. Specific areas of investment include automation, electrification, green technologies, medical technology and software technologies.

Every year, Bosch Ventures identifies around 2,000 start-ups worldwide, six to ten of which receive an investment. In addition to capital, Bosch offers operational support and access to its own network.

One key instrument is the "Open Bosch" program, which enables start-ups to cooperate with Bosch business units at an early stage. This enables co-innovation, partnerships on an equal footing and accelerated technology transfer. There are now several hundred such collaborations worldwide.

The current portfolio comprises over 60 active investments, including companies such as Aleph Alpha, Arduino, IonQ and TrunkTech. Bosch Ventures supports its start-ups not only financially, but also strategically - right through to successful IPOs. Bosch intends to continue along this path with the new fund. (sg)
