For more than 130 years, the history of Bosch has been a story of innovative strength – and every day, some 390,000 associates give that story fresh impetus with their know-how and their ideas. New products and services are constantly being “Invented for life.” Technology is being developed to improve quality of life and to help conserve resources. For example, vehicle assistance and safety systems developed by Bosch have saved many lives. Products such as app-controlled robotic lawnmowers make life more pleasant. The foundation for this innovative strength is a working culture that promotes satisfaction, creativity, and productivity. Particularly clear expression is given to this culture through the architecture and workplace design of the new research campus in Renningen, near Stuttgart, Germany. It is the headquarters of Bosch corporate research and advance engineering.
