Founded in Stuttgart in 1886, the Bosch Group has grown into one of the world's largest technology and services companies, employing around 418,000 people across the globe. The company operates in four broad areas: mobility, industrial technology, consumer goods, and energy and building technology.
Bosch's technical work spans a wide range of disciplines, including sensor technology, software development, connectivity, electrification, and digitalisation. Its product portfolio reflects this breadth - from sensors for automated driving and smart home energy systems to power tools for consumers. Across these categories, the company's stated priorities are quality, reliability, and practical usefulness rather than technology as an end in itself.
Sustainability runs through Bosch's stated approach to product development, with an emphasis on conserving natural resources alongside delivering commercially useful solutions. The company's workforce is correspondingly diverse, covering research and development, engineering, manufacturing, and services functions worldwide.
