Many startups are acknowledged as technology leaders in their fields, making them a great source of innovative solutions to help BSH address and resolve business challenges. In order to better develop partnerships with these young tech players, BSH Startup Kitchen was born. Here we highlight two partnerships from their portfolio that could thrill and delight consumers.
Advancing sustainability has gone from being necessary to being an urgent matter. The involvement of everyone is key and the role that companies play in this matter is important. This was the first message a group of Talentify members received when they were asked to take action.
Did you know that there are 1.14 million bacteria of 1,900 varieties per square centimeter in a normal refrigerator? Once you notice the first odors vaporing in the fridge, the bacteria growth is already out of control.

Find out how, Allen Wang and Liu Xiaodong equipped our new Bosch refrigerators!

In 2021, BSH Turkey launched the WE Power Internship Program, an online event to empower female engineering students and support diversity in the workplace, particularly in core engineering areas where female representation is relatively low. The full-day event attracted over 5000 applications and provided 100 attendees from 17 universities with interactive workshops and informative speeches. We talked with the project lead, Sinem Bitik, about the program’s initiation, its success, and the next steps that are planned for fostering gender diversity at BSH.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (short: DEI) are not only plain values at BSH, but lived reality. This is especially obvious when speaking to our “Diversity Champions” about their experiences and the way they foster DEI at their workplace. Our Diversity Champions have recently been elected by their colleagues due to their outstanding contribution to DEI at BSH.
There is hardly anyone at BSH who knows better about agile collaboration in self-organized teams than Şebnem Balaban, who works as Agile and Transformation Coach in our global HR department. In an interview, we asked her to share her experiences with agile collaboration and give tips for colleagues who are interested in learning how to practice it.
