Bosch opens three storey open-plan IoT
campus in Berlin
Bosch is bringing together its global IoT activities at a new hub in the
German capital. In the presence of Berlin’s mayor Michael Müller, the
Bosch CEO Dr. Volkmar Denner inaugurated the company’s new IoT campus at the
Tempelhofer Hafen in the creative Ullsteinhaus district.
Berlin is a hotspot for many important players working on and with connected solutions. They include software and hardware
providers, technology partners, and start-ups. “With our new premises, we are building bridges between our own IoT experts and
others in Berlin’s creative and digital scenes,” Denner said. “The inauguration of the Bosch IoT campus is another important
building block for Berlin as a digital capital,” Müller said, speaking before guests from politics, business, and the media. “We
believe in openness for the internet of things – open ecosystems and open collaboration and partnership. This idea is also
reflected in the campus concept,” Denner added.
More than 250 Bosch associates are working at the new campus. Over the next few years, the number of associates is
expected to rise to around 400. The IoT experts will advise and support customers during the development and implementation
of projects for connected solutions. These encompass, for instance, solutions for Industry 4.0, connected mobility, smart cities,
and smart homes.Visitors to the Bosch IoT campus immediately notice that the open-plan, three-story
ensemble offers an unconventional working environment. Instead of desks, a caravan, workshops,
and forest-themed workspaces catch the eye. In total, Bosch has invested some 3 million euros in the
location and its unusual workspaces. For more visit: uk.boschsecurity.com/en/
