Robert Bosch Venture Capital

The forum brings together innovative, European technology Start-ups with experts from Robert Bosch Venture Capital GmbH (RBVC) and business development, innovation and research departments of Robert Bosch GmbH. The objective of the forum is to facilitate potential strategic investments, development cooperation, licensing agreements and customer-supplier-relationships. Thus the Bosch Venture Forum is an excellent opportunity to gain the Bosch Group as investor, partner or customer.

If you are a director of a ambitious, European technology Start-up offering products, solutions and/or services in line with RBVC’s technology focus fields, we encourage you to apply online for the opportunity to present at the upcoming Bosch Venture Forum and have an in-person discussion with Bosch representatives.

Invited participants are required to attend both days of the event. The afternoon of the first day, 20 September 2011, will provide participants with presentation training from a proven expert. This is then followed by a dinner in the evening with RBVC and Bosch representatives, providing the opportunity for informal discussions and networking.

Presentations and meetings will take place the following day, 21 September 2011, at the Bosch “Haus Heidehof” in Stuttgart, Germany.
