Congratulations to all the winners on their impressive results and their clear commitment to building AI-ready organizations.

Bosch Connected World 2026: Where AI, Software, Mobility, and Industry Meet

Bosch Connected World has established itself as one of the most important international hubs for digital business, AI, IoT, software, mobility, industry, and connected ecosystems.

The 2026 edition took place in Berlin at two iconic venues: the Tempodrom and Arena Berlin. The event brought together Bosch’s digital ecosystem, including partners, customers, industry leaders, technology companies, startups, and innovators from around the world.

The official focus of BCW26 was clear: artificial intelligence, digital systems, future technology, and mobility, with the goal of driving sustainable, human-centered, and customer-focused innovation.

What made the event particularly impactful was the combination of formats: keynotes, expert talks, in-depth sessions, exhibition areas, networking opportunities, side events, and live technology demonstrations. Throughout the event, the discussion centered on how AI, software, and connected systems can deliver tangible value in real-world business environments.

That is exactly where CorpIn’s mission comes in.

Because as AI becomes mission-critical, organizations need more than isolated pilot projects, internal enthusiasm, or technology experiments. They need clarity. They need benchmarks. And they need a reliable way to understand where they stand... and what to do next.

CorpIn’s Mission: From AI Chaos to Corporate Intelligence

Many organizations are currently facing the same challenge.

AI initiatives are popping up everywhere. Teams are experimenting with tools. New platforms are entering the market. Suddenly, every system has an AI feature. At the same time, data is fragmented, governance is unclear, legacy infrastructure slows down implementation, and leadership teams often lack a reliable reference point for strategic decisions.

The result is what we often refer to as AI chaos.

But AI chaos is only a symptom.

The deeper problem is strategic blindness: organizations lack a clear, comparable, and decision-relevant view of their own AI maturity.

That is why CorpIn is building the Corporate Intelligence Layer for AI transformation.

Our platform helps organizations assess their AI maturity across key areas, compare themselves to peers, and identify where action is most needed. Rather than treating AI maturity as a vague consulting discussion, CorpIn transforms it into a structured, data-driven, and actionable management metric.

In simple terms:

CorpIn helps companies understand where they stand, how they compare, and what steps they should take next.

At Bosch Connected World 2026, the strong interest in this approach confirmed what we are seeing across the market: AI maturity is becoming a critical business metric.

Presenting the Gold Standard for AI Maturity at BCW26

At our booth in Berlin, we had the opportunity to present the Gold Standard for AI Maturity to a highly relevant audience.

The conversations were incredibly valuable. We spoke with corporations, technology providers, consulting firms, AI startups, mobility experts, industry leaders, investors, and potential partners. Many of them are grappling with the same strategic question:

How can AI transformation be measured, benchmarked, and managed in a reliable way?

That question is becoming increasingly urgent as AI moves from the experimental stage into core business infrastructure. The next phase of AI adoption will not be won by the organizations that simply launch the most pilot projects. It will be won by those that can identify strategic blind spots, prioritize investments, and continuously improve their organizational readiness.

This is where CorpIn’s platform adds value.

The platform combines internal and external maturity indicators to provide a structured view of an organization’s AI readiness. It helps leaders move from assumptions to evidence, from scattered initiatives to clear priorities, and from isolated transformation projects to continuous AI maturity management.

The six core maturity dimensions underlying the assessment are:

• Data Foundation
• Strategy
• Technical Basis
• Culture
• Awareness
• Security

Together, these factors provide a comprehensive view of how prepared an organization is to create real value with AI.

CorpIn AI Maturity Awards – BCW26 Edition

A particular highlight for us was the CorpIn AI Maturity Awards – BCW26 Edition.

The BCW26 Edition was created to recognize organizations that demonstrated particularly strong signs of AI maturity among the participating companies and partners at Bosch Connected World 2026.

The goal of the award was not to recognize the most high-profile AI initiative. Rather, it was to highlight organizations that demonstrate measurable evidence of AI readiness across relevant maturity dimensions.

The final ranking:

1st Place: Microsoft

Microsoft achieved the highest overall AI maturity score in the CorpIn AI Maturity Awards – BCW26 Edition.

With an overall score of 72, Microsoft performed particularly well in the areas of Awareness, Data Foundation, and Security.

Microsoft’s results reflect a strong and highly visible presence in the AI field, particularly in terms of AI expertise, AI-related communications, data maturity, and security-related indicators. The exceptional Awareness score underscores the company’s position as one of the most visible global players in the AI ecosystem.

Congratulations to Microsoft on winning first place in the CorpIn AI Maturity Awards – BCW26 Edition.

2nd Place: IBM

IBM ranked second with an overall AI maturity score of 68.

IBM demonstrated a particularly balanced maturity profile across Strategy, Technical Foundation, Awareness, and Security.

IBM’s results demonstrate the value of consistency. Rather than excelling in just one area, IBM performed strongly across multiple areas that are critical to sustainable AI transformation: technical readiness, strategic clarity, organizational awareness, and security.

Congratulations to IBM on taking second place in the CorpIn AI Maturity Awards – BCW26 Edition.

3rd Place: Deltia.ai

Deltia.ai ranked third with an overall AI maturity score of 67.

Deltia.ai stood out particularly in the areas of data foundation, strategy, and security.

As a specialized AI company, Deltia.ai showed particularly strong performance in data maturity and security. The results indicate that AI maturity is not solely a matter of company size. It also depends on focus, strategic direction, and the ability to establish a solid foundation for AI-driven value creation.

Congratulations to Deltia.ai on winning third place in the CorpIn AI Maturity Awards – BCW26 Edition.

What the Results Show: AI Maturity Is Becoming a Strategic Benchmark

The results of the BCW26 Edition reinforced one of CorpIn’s core beliefs:

AI maturity is becoming a strategic benchmark for modern organizations.

In the past, companies often assessed AI adoption based on isolated use cases, technology investments, or proof-of-concepts. But this perspective is too narrow.

AI maturity is not just about whether a company uses AI tools. It is about whether the organization has the data foundation, strategic alignment, technical capabilities, cultural readiness, awareness, and security posture required to create sustainable value with AI.

That is why measurement matters.

Without measurement, AI transformation remains vague.
Without comparability, leaders cannot know whether they are ahead or behind.
Without prioritization, investments are based on assumptions rather than evidence.

This is the gap that CorpIn is closing.

Keynotes, Speakers, and the Broader BCW26 Ecosystem

In addition to the exhibition, BCW26 featured an impressive conference program with leading figures from the worlds of business, technology, AI, mobility, cloud computing, robotics, government, and research.

The lineup of speakers included, among many others, Dr.-Ing. Stefan Hartung, Chairman of the Board of Management of Robert Bosch GmbH; Dr. Tanja Rückert, Member of the Board of Management and Chief Digital Officer of Robert Bosch GmbH; Dr. Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG; Satya Nadella from Microsoft; Katy George from Microsoft; Agnes Heftberger from Microsoft Germany & Austria; Joe Tsai, Co-founder and Chairman of Alibaba Group; Rev. Lebaredian from NVIDIA; Dr. Wieland Holfelder from Google Cloud; Uwem Ukpong from AWS; Dr. Karsten Wildberger, Germany’s Federal Minister for Digital Transformation and Government Modernization; Prof. Dr. Haya Schulmann from Goethe University Frankfurt; David Reger from Neura Robotics; Alex Ren from Bowintec; and Jochen Rudat from Humanoid.

The range of topics was equally impressive: AI and software-defined systems, autonomous mobility, agent-based AI, digital twins, manufacturing co-intelligence, robotics, physical AI, security, trust, and digital sovereignty.

For CorpIn, this environment was highly relevant. It demonstrated how quickly AI is evolving from abstract strategy into concrete systems, products, and operating models. The discussions on robotics, industrial AI, AI agents, and software-defined mobility all pointed in the same direction:

The next wave of AI will increase complexity.

And the more complex AI becomes, the more important measurable corporate intelligence becomes.

Meaningful Conversations, New Partnerships, and Product Momentum

One of the most valuable outcomes of Bosch Connected World 2026 was the quality of the discussions.

We met with organizations that are actively developing AI capabilities. We spoke with potential partners who view AI maturity as a critical factor in consulting, benchmarking, due diligence, and transformation programs. We exchanged ideas with companies working on AI infrastructure, manufacturing intelligence, enterprise software, mobility, cloud platforms, and industrial automation.

These conversations will directly shape the next steps for our platform.

For us, BCW26 wasn't just about showcasing CorpIn. It was also about listening: understanding what leaders need, where existing approaches fall short, and how our platform can deliver even more practical value.

Several conversations held in Berlin are already leading to follow-up discussions, potential partnerships, and product development opportunities.

That is exactly what a great ecosystem event should do.

Meeting Our Advisory Board in Berlin

Another personal highlight was meeting two members of the CorpIn Advisory Board during the event: Wolfgang Schiller and Boris Dolkhani, CMO of Bosch.

Both have been valuable partners in shaping CorpIn’s strategic direction, positioning, and go-to-market strategy. Meeting them at Bosch Connected World made the event even more meaningful for our team.

Their perspectives are particularly relevant to CorpIn’s journey: Wolfgang brings deep expertise in AI, robotics, automation, and scaling technology businesses, while Boris brings outstanding experience in branding, communication, positioning, and enterprise-level marketing.

Having these conversations in Berlin, surrounded by one of Europe’s strongest AI and technology ecosystems, gave us greater clarity and energy for the next phase of CorpIn.

Tempodrom, Arena Berlin, and the Power of Side Events

The locations also played a major role in the overall experience.

The Tempodrom provided a striking backdrop for the opening and keynote program. The Arena Berlin offered the perfect setting for the exhibition, discussions, networking, and side events.

Throughout both days, the event generated a strong sense of momentum. From structured conference sessions to informal conversations, from booth discussions to evening networking events, BCW26 made it easy to connect with the right people.

For CorpIn, these moments were incredibly valuable. Some of the most important conversations did not take place in formal meeting rooms. They took place between sessions, at the booth, during networking events, and at the side events.

That is often where new partnerships begin.

What's Next for CorpIn

We are leaving Berlin with notebooks full of notes, valuable new connections, and an even stronger sense of conviction.

The response to our platform confirmed that the market is ready for a new standard in measuring AI maturity.

The next step is clear: we will continue to develop CorpIn into the leading corporate intelligence platform for AI maturity, benchmarking, and strategic guidance.

Our focus remains on helping organizations:

• measure their AI maturity,
• benchmark against peers,
• identify strategic blind spots,
• prioritize the right initiatives,
• and drive AI transformation with confidence.

The BCW26 Edition of the CorpIn AI Maturity Awards marked an important milestone on that journey.

But this is only the beginning.
