Dr Volkmar Denner, chairman of the Bosch board of management, said: “Like a university, our campus brings together many faculties. Here, we want our researchers to do more than just think about what the future could bring. We want them to be successful entrepreneurs as well. Renningen is Bosch’s own Stanford.”
The campus will employ 1700 engineers performing applied industrial research in the fields of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, analytics, chemistry, physics, biology, or microsystems technology. Their work will focus on areas such as software engineering, sensor technology, automation, driver assistance systems, and battery technology, as well as on improved automotive powertrain systems.
