Berlin, September 18, 2025 – PIABO Communications, Europe’s leading communications agency for the world’s most innovative companies, has been appointed to handle communications for Bosch Business Innovations, the corporate venture builder of Robert Bosch GmbH.
As one of Germany’s largest corporate venture builders (CVBs), Bosch Business Innovations leverages Bosch’s extensive patent portfolio as well as the Group’s research and development capabilities to build scalable, investable start-ups efficiently.
Since September 2025, PIABO Communications has overseen strategic communications and media relations for Bosch Business Innovations. The partnership aims to strengthen the visibility of Bosch Business Innovations itself while also expanding brand awareness for the start-ups it creates—particularly among founders, investors, and key players in the innovation ecosystem. In doing so, PIABO supports Bosch Business Innovations’ mission to launch companies that are not only commercially successful but also contribute to improving people’s quality of life—true to Bosch’s guiding principle “Invented for life.”
“At Bosch Business Innovations, we build start-ups from the ground up. With access to one of the world’s largest patent libraries, Bosch’s outstanding R&D capabilities, and a global talent pool, we provide founders with a decisive technological advantage,” says Axel Deniz, CEO of Bosch Business Innovations. “Our goal is to create companies that can raise capital after the initial start-up phase within our program and then thrive as independent spin-offs. By choosing PIABO, we have deliberately selected Germany’s leading strategic communications partner in the venture capital ecosystem. Their strong network and expertise in scaling high-growth portfolio companies are invaluable multipliers for our ambition to establish 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 flagship for corporate venture building in Europe. Together, we will highlight its success stories—from fundraising rounds and partnerships to customer wins and exits. Carbon capture is currently a major focus. The emphasis on sustainability, deep tech, and entrepreneurial culture aligns perfectly with PIABO’s expertise.”
Janice Sommer, Venture Capital Communications Lead at PIABO Communications, emphasizes: “The strength of Bosch Business Innovations lies in the unique combination of Bosch assets with the openness to collaborate within the international innovation ecosystem. Our mission is to amplify its structured and pioneering venture-building approach, the technological distinctiveness, and the market power of its start-ups. By doing so, we help build trust among partners, investors, and talent—an essential foundation for entering new markets and driving genuine innovation.”
