Meet us at Innov8rs Manchester

Is corporate venture building entering its next evolution? As pressure mounts on organizations to turn innovation ambitions into tangible business outcomes, the traditional model is being challenged.

We are excited to announce that our CEO Axel Deniz will be delivering an opening keynote at Innov8rs Manchester 2026 on Tuesday, September 15th 10:30 - 12:30 BST.

In his session, "The Un-Corporate Venture Builder," Axel will explore how Bosch is pioneering a bold new approach to scale breakthrough technologies by moving venture building to the edge of our core, combining industrial strength with entrepreneurial speed.

He will share the inside story of how we at Bosch Business Innovations act as the bridge between invention and commercial traction. By aligning Bosch's deep research, intellectual property and assets with external founders, investors, and partners, we build scaling companies outside traditional corporate structures to unlock new markets.

Innov8rs Manchester is Europe's premier gathering for corporate innovators. Over two days, 250+ corporate innovation leaders across industries will gather for 25+ in-depth sessions focusing on benchmarking, building relevant connections, and driving real-world business outcomes.

Connect with Axel Deniz on LinkedIn for ongoing insights into edge-of-core venture building.
