How BSH Home Appliances works with startups
The Startup Kitchen is BSH’s venture client unit, running paid proof-of-concepts since 2018. 70+ PoCs so far, and the number that matters: more than 40% of them were adopted into BSH’s business. A pilot here is not innovation theater, it has a better-than-2-in-5 chance of becoming real revenue. Topics come with allocated budget, and the fast track moves from first interaction to purchase order within one month.
