New energy for sustainability – with technology from Bosch

Ladies and gentlemen …
 
… "Decoding tomorrow," the theme of this year's annual report, may sound slightly technical, yet it is also very optimistic. We stand by that. It refers to Bosch's core message of making the world a better place with technology that is "Invented for life." We may manufacture all manner of drive systems, but this is what drives us. Currently, however, matters of war and peace are overshadowing our day-to-day lives in a way we had, for decades, not thought possible. Where people are fighting to survive, our thoughts go out to them and we share their fears. Yet still we must not give up hope.
 
But what does the conflict in eastern Europe have to do with the threat of climate change? There is, in fact, a connection: we have to put our energy use on a broader footing. We need security of supply, and at the same time we have to open up new sources of energy. How is Bosch decoding this future task? We want to delve into this question in our annual press conference, to which I warmly welcome you in these somber times.
