Why should you submit?
We offer you a fast track directly into our organization through a strong network that we have built throughout many years. You will have a personal advisor who will introduce you to relevant Bosch contacts in order to establish meaningful partnerships.
Full Transparency
We aim for full transparency and want you to know exactly in which stage your proposal is currently in at any time. After your submission has been validated and you received a positive answer from us you will have one dedicated contact person who is your direct link to Bosch. Your Personal Advisor will identify matching contacts for you and will help you during the entire process.
Dynamic Internal Network
You could spend hours to find the right contact on social media and on doing cold calls - or you just make use of our strong network. We spent years to set up a strong internal network that is routed deeply in every single Bosch department and is constantly growing. Thus, it allows for fast tracks directly to those people for whom your solution will create the biggest impact.
Cross Divisional Purposes
Does your proposal seem to be relevant only for one specific use case? We will spread your proposal across our network in a targeted way to identify other less obvious areas of application within Bosch and introduce you to the most promising contacts. There is no need to search on your own for relevant Bosch contacts - simply rely on our experts and our solid network.
Present your solution
Do you have an innovative product, a patent or a solution that you want to drive forward together with Bosch? Then submit now and present it to us! Do you want to know what happens after your submission? Just scroll down to get an impression of a typical workflow.
01 - Initial Check
Once you have submitted your proposal, it will be reviewed by our experts. Regularly after four weeks, you will receive feedback from us as to whether your proposal seems to be interesting for a potential application and whether we would like to enter into more in-depth discussions with you. The more precisely you present your topic, the higher the chance that we see potential for Bosch in it.
02 - Deep Dive
When we see potential for a cooperation, we not only talk to the directly fitting accounts but also use our strong internal network to talk to Bosch experts from different areas about your proposal. This may sound arbitrary at first, but we have often experienced that cooperation potentials open up in places where nobody would expect them. From this point on, you will have a personal advisor at your side who will accompany you throughout the entire cooperation period and provide you with targeted assistance.
03 - Match Making
After we have thoroughly evaluated the potential for cooperation in our expert deep dives and identified suitable areas of application, your personal advisor will organize appointments with the most promising opportunities. Your personal advisor will also support you in the meeting preparation and further discussions, if necessary. Thus we will arrange meetings for you with the most relevant experts and you will have the chance to convince them personally.
We believe in innovation and partnerships. This is what we are looking for.
Connected Mobility
A car that parks itself, and can be unlocked and started simply by using a smartphone. A system that warns drivers about the tail end of a traffic jam around the next bend. E-scooters that can be rented by app on the spur of the moment. Around the world, we’re working on smart mobility concepts like these – and many more – to make driving even safer and more relaxed.
Connected Living
In a connected house, everything runs like clockwork: coffee machines know exactly how you like your morning cup, lighting and music adapt to the occasion, lawnmowers know how to keep the grass in perfect shape, and much more – our intelligent devices not only adapt to their owners’ requirements, but get smarter all the time. We’re making homes smarter than they’ve ever been.
Connected Industry
Industry 4.0 is when factories can be adapted to any requirements and learn independently at the same time. For Bosch, the secret here is to combine the best of people, data, and machines. And while artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms make processes simpler, more efficient, and more flexible, people still have full control over everything that happens.
Enabling Technology
Did you develop a new revolutionizing computing processor, a highly innovative security software, an outstanding coating material or something else along those lines? That sounds like an enabling technology. Every great product consists of many different parts, components and processes that no one but the experts can see – whether they are hardware or software related. However mostly these parts and the way they are assembled determine the success or failure of an innovative product.
