Innovations and the development of new business areas have made Bosch the technology leader it is today. To expand its innovation landscape further, the company is investing around 200 million euros in its subsidiary Bosch Business Innovations over the next five years. As a corporate venture builder, the unit develops new business ideas beyond Bosch’s current core business and builds startups from the early stages onward. The aim is to systematically bring these to market maturity and also to develop new leading business models for Bosch.

To this end, Bosch Business Innovations has defined business areas in line with the Bosch strategy in which investments are to be prioritized and in which the market dynamics are an optimal match for Bosch’s competencies and technological expertise. The first of these are software-controlled manufacturing, remote health monitoring, and the capture, use, and storage of greenhouse gases. Further business areas will be added over the next four years, with the goal of having 20 successful startups in operation by 2030.

“Innovative strength and technology leadership are an integral part of Bosch’s history,” says Stefan Hartung, chairman of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH. “We have always continued to develop by identifying and investing in new technologies early and decisively – because innovation is our most important currency. We’re now significantly strengthening Bosch Business Innovations with financial resources so that new ideas have a home and the space to develop.”

Axel Deniz, CEO of Bosch Business Innovations, adds: “Our aim is to systematically develop new ideas beyond our current core business. To achieve this, we rely 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 startup world.”

Bosch Business Innovations accelerates market maturity with partnerships
To bring both worlds together in an optimal way, Bosch Business Innovations relies on a partnership model: it joins with experienced venture studios to build new business ideas from scratch and bring them quickly to market maturity. Bosch thus combines its own strengths – from technological expertise and patent power to industrial scaling – with the deployment speed and venture-building expertise of external partners. This creates a model in which opportunities and risks are deliberately shared and innovations are systematically put into implementation.
The focus is on the founders: Bosch Business Innovations is also open to external entrepreneurs in particular and gives them a crucial head start. They are involved in the company at an early stage, take on responsibility, and play an active role in shaping the startup from the very beginning. In addition, external investors are involved early on so as to tap into additional capital and market access. The approach is supported by specialized partners who contribute market and technology trends and facilitate access to international startup ecosystems.
Growth market for remote health monitoring
In the field of remote health monitoring, Bosch Business Innovations sees a rapidly growing market that has thus far remained fragmented. Bosch already has a strong healthcare ecosystem that includes the Robert Bosch Hospital and numerous hospital partnerships. This is complemented by 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 software-controlled manufacturing, Bosch looks to its own industrial strength as well as its expertise in data, software, and AI. Targeted investments in startups are intended to create platform-based business models for software in manufacturing operations.

The third defined investment area is carbon capture, a strategic area of development. Bosch is examining ways in which industrial decarbonization and carbon capture from the ambient air can be translated into business models.

Bosch Business Innovations realigns existing portfolio
Bosch Business Innovations evolved from grow platform GmbH, a wholly owned Bosch subsidiary that developed internal startups within the company. The previous portfolio was restructured 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 achieved an important milestone at the end of 2025: the ceramic 3D printing specialist 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. The other pillars include, among others, the extensive research and development activities across the company and the existing venture capital unit, Bosch Ventures.

Intel has officially expanded its Series 2 lineup with the release of the Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 270K Plus processor. Built on the advanced “Arrow Lake Refresh” architecture, this new flagship-tier CPU is engineered to deliver unprecedented levels of power, efficiency, and AI-driven performance for both enthusiast gamers and high-end creative professionals.

The Ultimate Expression of Performance

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus represents a significant leap forward in desktop computing. Featuring a robust 24-core configuration comprising 8 high-frequency Performance-cores (P-cores) and 16 high-efficiency Efficiency-cores (E-cores) the processor provides 24 dedicated threads of processing power. With a maximum turbo frequency reaching 5.5 GHz, it is designed to handle the most demanding multithreaded workloads, from 4K video rendering to complex 3D simulation, with remarkable ease.

Introducing Intel Binary Optimization Tool (iBOT)

A standout feature of the 270K Plus is the debut of the Intel Binary Optimization Tool (iBOT). This revolutionary x86 binary translation technology allows the CPU to analyze and optimize software code in real-time. By streamlining instructions for better execution, iBOT supercharges performance in gaming and professional applications, ensuring that software runs faster and more efficiently than ever before on the Intel platform.

Enhanced Memory and Connectivity

Intel continues to push the boundaries of platform technology. The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus natively supports DDR5 memory speeds up to 7200 MT/s and introduces support for CUDIMM (Clocked Unbuffered Dual In-Line Memory Modules). This allows for higher memory densities and improved stability at extreme frequencies.

Connectivity is also at the forefront, with integrated support for Thunderbolt™ 5, offering lightning-fast data transfer speeds and simplified single-cable docking solutions. Coupled with native Wi-Fi 7 capabilities, the 270K Plus ensures users remain at the cutting edge of networking technology.
