BSH, a subsidiary of the Bosch Group, and the accelerator company Techstars have launched the "BSH Future Home Accelerator powered by Techstars" program. This program gives startups the opportunity to implement their ideas for the connected kitchen of the future in the shortest possible time. Selected startups receive targeted support through targeted coaching and access to the broad BSH and Techstars network of mentors, specialists, and investors.
BSH, together with Techstars, has set itself the goal of supporting ten young companies with new business models each year through 2021 through the program. Applications for the "Future Home" program, with a focus on the digital kitchen, are open today. International and national startups with ideas for digital services and disruptive technologies can find information about the program and how to register on the BSH Accelerator website.
BSH Accelerator promises rapid development
The ten best teams will be invited to a three-month accelerator program in Munich in early 2019. There, they will further develop their strategies, launch pilot projects, and refine their business models with mentors from BSH and Techstars. At the end of the program, the startups will present their business models to attract investors.
“In the Future Home program, future entrepreneurs go through a development process of more than a year in just 13 weeks,”
explained Mario Pieper, CDO at BSH.
"With our brands Bosch, Siemens, Gaggenau, and Neff, we are one of the world's most successful home appliance manufacturers and are setting new standards in the connected kitchen sector with Home Connect. The startups benefit from our experience and knowledge, as well as the potential of more than one million connected home appliances."
