Berlin, September 15, 2025 – PIABO Communications, Europe’s leading communications agency for the world’s most innovative companies, is taking over the communications budget for Bosch Business Innovations (BIU), the corporate venture builder of Robert Bosch GmbH.
As one of the largest corporate venture builders (CVB) in Germany, Bosch Business Innovations strategically utilizes its extensive patent portfolio and Bosch’s research and development capabilities to efficiently build successful and investable start-ups.
Since September 2025, PIABO Communications has been responsible for strategic communications and media relations for Bosch Business Innovations. The aim of the collaboration is to increase the visibility of Bosch Business Innovations. At the same time, the brand awareness of the start-ups founded in the venture building program will be expanded among founders, investors and other partners in the innovation ecosystem. In this way, PIABO supports Bosch Business Innovations’ ambition to develop ventures that are not only economically viable, but also improve people’s quality of life – in line with the Bosch motto “Invented for life”.
„At Bosch Business Innovations, we build ventures from the ground up. With access to one of the world’s largest patent libraries, Bosch’s outstanding research and development department and global talent, we create a decisive advantage for founders based on a real technological edge “, explains Axel Deniz, CEO of Bosch Business Innovations. “Our aim is to create companies that can successfully fundraise after the start-up phase within our program and survive on the market as spin-offs. With PIABO, we have deliberately chosen the leading strategic communication partner in the German venture capital ecosystem. Their deep-rooted network and expertise in working with high-growth portfolio companies are real multipliers for our mission to position ourselves as a thought leader in the venture-building market. “
Andreas Krönke, Executive Unit Director Greentech & Sustainability at PIABO Communications, adds: “Bosch Business Innovations is a beacon for corporate venture building in Europe. Together, we want to showcase this success – from successful fundraising rounds, partnerships and new customers to exit stories. The area of carbon capture is currently an important topic. The focus on sustainability, deep tech and entrepreneurial culture also reflects PIABO’s expertise .”
Janice Sommer, Venture Capital Communications Lead at PIABO Communications, says: “BIU’s strength lies in the unique combination of Bosch assets and the openness to act as part of an international innovation ecosystem. Our focus is on making the structured and novel approach of Bosch Business Innovations in the venture building ecosystem as well as the technological uniqueness and economic clout of BIU ventures visible. In this way, we create trust among partners, investors and talents – a key prerequisite for opening up new markets and driving real innovation .”
