Open Bosch startup collaboration programme
Open Bosch
Open continuously
No deadline — apply whenever you are ready.
No grant and no equity: Open Bosch is Bosch's venture client unit and pays startups for a first pilot (amount depends on integration and validation effort). Robert Bosch Venture Capital invests separately (pitch deck to Info.RBVC@de.bosch.com).
