Bosch Plans to Invest Over €2.5 Billion in AI by the End of 2027
2026-01-08
German automotive parts supplier Bosch announced a series of ambitious plans at CES 2026. As the technological sophistication of the automotive market continues to deepen, Bosch expects its software business sales to grow strongly in the coming years. According to Bosch's forecast, by the beginning of the next decade, its software and services business will exceed €6 billion in annual sales, with about two-thirds of the revenue coming from the mobility sector. This transformation not only reflects Bosch's deep insight into the future trends of the automotive market but also marks its transition from a traditional hardware supplier to a software and service provider.
€2.5 Billion Investment Plan in AI
Technology and Talent Development
Bosch has made significant progress in technology reserves and talent development in the field of artificial intelligence. Over the past five years, Bosch has filed more than 1,500 AI patents, ranking among the top European companies. Moreover, through its internal AI Academy, Bosch has trained 65,000 employees since 2019, and currently, about 5,000 AI experts are dedicated to developing solutions. These technological reserves and talent advantages will provide a solid foundation for Bosch's continued development in the field of artificial intelligence.
Future Market Outlook
Bosch's long-term goal is to double its sales in software, sensor technology, high-performance computers, and network components by the mid-2030s, exceeding €10 billion. The achievement of this goal will depend on Bosch's continued investment and technological innovation in the field of artificial intelligence. Bosch plans to collaborate with technology giants such as Microsoft to further expand its "Manufacturing Collaborative Intelligence" solutions and explore the use of agent-based artificial intelligence to revolutionize production methods. This collaboration will combine Bosch's deep industrial knowledge in production and industrial software with Microsoft's leading IT infrastructure and software technology to develop AI-supported solutions and optimize production processes.
