The German Federal President Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Ambassador Dr. Norbert Riedel, State Secretary Dörte Dinger, and Minister of State for Europe and Climate Dr. Anna Lührmann visited Bosch Singapore on June 15, 2022, during their southeast Asia trip. Martin Hayes, president of Bosch in southeast Asia, received the delegation at the company’s regional headquarters and gave them insights into its local activities.

The guests were shown the AquaEasy solution for sustainable shrimp farming developed by a Bosch grow platform start-up. Using sensors, farmers can monitor water quality and the shrimp’s health and can adjust feeding time and quantity to the animals’ food requirements. Sustainable aquaculture increases productivity and profitability.

Bosch has been present in Singapore since 1958, and today manages its business in nine southeast Asian countries from there (Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos). In 2021, the company and its 700 associates generated sales in Singapore of 110 million euros. Bosch’s local activities focus on research and development of innovative solutions for digitalization, for example in the areas of Industry 4.0 and sustainability.
