Bosch Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of Robert Bosch GmbH, has announced the launch of a new €250 million (approximately $282 million) fund to support deep-tech startups globally. This expands Bosch’s longstanding venture capital activity, which has included over 100 investments since 2007, and speaks to their continued commitment to startup-driven innovation, even amid broader economic uncertainty.
According to a release from Bosch Ventures, the new fund will target startups developing technologies that improve quality of life and conserve resources, with a particular focus on energy efficiency, artificial intelligence, and other foundational technologies. Quantum computing is among the sectors supported through the fund.
Bosch Group Chairman Stefan Hartung noted that startups remain essential contributors to economic growth and innovation. “With disruptive technologies, startups can boost innovation in a way that delivers important growth impetus for a country’s economy,” Hartung stated. “That is why we want to remain a reliable partner for the startup sector worldwide, even in an adverse business environment.”
