BMW Startup Garage

There's a reason why it's called #VentureClient! Working with 2 startups on one strategic project is risky, but if the impact is worth it... Congrats to @seoulrobotics and @embotechAG for scaling this never-been-done-before collaboration with the @BMWGroup youtu.be/XPwu2YniPog

The @BMWGroup is making driverless manoeuvering of any BMW car within its plant logistics possible. South Korean #startup @seoulrobotics and Swiss startup @embotechAG created the technological base for this new, unique functionality: press.bmwgroup.com/global/article…

Shout out to all #Korea #startups! We are presenting at #NextRise 2022 in COEX, #Seoul on June 16th and 17th. Visit us at our booth to discuss your startup innovations with us! #BMWStartupGarage #BMW

@Prewave's monitoring technology extracts information from public media to analyze supplier-related risk in real-time. The #startup entered our #VentureClient program in 2018. Now the @BMWGroup is integrating its technology with more than 10,000 suppliers: bit.ly/3Fjvbj3

Does your car talk to you? The @BMWGroup is developing voice applications for human-vehicle-interactions of the future. Find out how we and the Canadian startup @voiceflow are contributing to this: youtu.be/CNL4g9oxgvE

Can #quantumcomputing accelerate innovation in the automotive industry? @XanaduAI joined our #VentureClient program to co-develop quantum machine learning algorithms focused on enhancing the quality, safety, and performance of @BMWGroup's next-generation #automotive solutions.

Our very own Alexandra Renner will be scouring @4YFN_MWC at the @MWCHub for exciting startup innovations. If you want to schedule a meeting with her, fill out our partnership form and add "Meet Alex at 4YFN" as a comment: bmwstartupgarage.com/partner-with-u… #4YFN22 #MWC22

Remember Tactile Mobility and their success with the driving dynamics department of the "iconic" @BMWGroup? Last year, we launched our #BMWStartupChronicles with this incredible #startupstory. Soon, we will publish the next one. But first, a throw-back: youtu.be/h0x9YcM5sZI

Striving for global leadership - thanks to open innovation and #VentureClient! Our impact on the @BMWGroup's innovativeness and competitive edge was recognized by @FocusOnline & @FOCUS_MONEY: focus.de/magazin/archiv…

It's a brand new year! New challenges & adventures await us. Let's start with a reminder, on why the BMW Startup Garage is an important contributor to @BMWGroup's #innovation leadership. Thank you to Dr. Rudolf Bencker for kicking off an exciting 2022! #startups #ventureclient

Wishing you peace and joy! The year is ending, the days get quieter, it's the time to rest and reflect. We look back on the eventful 2021 and want to say THANK YOU to our amazing team, our partners and supporters, and especially to all the #startups! See you all in 2022!

Last, but not least... one of our 360° #Sustainability Awards goes to @SkyCoolSystems and its dual-mode film panels that create a cooling effect by radiative cooling. Integrated into our air-conditioning systems, this could potentially save up to 80% on energy for the @BMWGroup!

Congrats to another 360° #Sustainability winner: @EcoTechRecycles and its technology for manufacturing new synthetic rubber from used, end-of-life tires. This could replace up to 24% of rubber in spare tires of the @BMWGroup vehicles as well as other rubber components.

Our very own Melanie Roesler is featured at @bitsandpretzels as one of the top attendees! This is just one of the many conferences, we visit every year to strengthen our network within the #startup ecosystem. Let's hope, we can return back to more onsite meet-ups in 2022!

It’s exciting to be working with BMW Group on next-gen automotive solutions. Thank you @BMW @BMWStartups for having us at the #BMW NewcomerDay. Great meeting @seoulrobotics @UpstreamAuto @Monolith_AI @VendiaHQ @embotechAG #automotive #edge #database

Beim Besuch der @BMWStartups Garage sprach StM'in @SarahAmiri1 mit @BMWGroup Senior Vice President, New Technologies, Dr. Rudolf Bencker, über die Zukunft der #Mobilität und erörterte die Zusammenarbeit im Bereich von Fahrzeugen der nächsten Generation. @MoFAICUAE @MoIATUAE

#Algix is one of the six winning #startups of the 360° #Sustainability Challenge at the @IAAmobility! They transform algae blooms from an environmental problem into a renewable material that helps clean the environment and reduces the use of oil and plastics.

Congrats to @TiamatEnergy, one of our 360° #Sustainability winners at the @IAAmobility. Its high-performance, sodium-based batteries could give the @BMWGroup more independence in the supply chain and reduce material transportation, as sodium is abundant right here in Europe.

Congrats again to Microwave Solutions, one of our 360° #Sustainability winners at the @IAAmobility. Its microwave-based #greentech system for carbon circularity could allow the @BMWGroup to scale up material recovery, recycling and upcycling – agile, low, and fast.

@VendiaHQ entered our #VentureClient program last year. Jointly with the @BMWGroup and @Fraunhofer_FIT, its platform was evaluated and successfully deployed for tracking vehicle quality during the build process involving multiple partners. Great success: vendia.net/bmw-case-study
