Projects in the United States
Ready for research

In the United States, our commitment is centered on research into “green” technologies. Students and scientists at the best universities in North America are working together within the new Bosch Energy Research Network (BERN) with a focus on wind power, photovoltaics, electromobility, and energy storage. The most important question is – how can we produce powerful and yet environmentally friendly energy and use it as efficiently as possible?

Our involvement in BERN is designed to further improve energy utilization in the long term with a view to future generations. The network features ten of the top universities in North America. Our support will initially focus on research at the University of California, Stanford University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of Michigan, and the California Institute of Technology. In future, we will also help ensure that the best research results are applied to the production industry and that internships are created for students.

Sun, wind, and efficiency

Our commitment in the United States revolves around sustainability. We are supporting research into transformative energy technologies. These include solar and wind power as well as thermoelectric power generation. At the same time, we are also focusing on the development of cutting-edge storage technologies. For example, these help balance energy supply and demand – regardless of the current weather conditions. In addition, we are also supporting projects geared towards improving the energy efficiency of houses and electricity grids.
