Congratulations to all winners for their impressive results and their visible 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 relevant international meeting points for digital business, AI, IoT, software, mobility, industry and connected ecosystems.

The 2026 edition took place in Berlin across 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 across the globe.

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

What made the event especially powerful was the combination of formats: keynotes, expert talks, deep-dive sessions, exhibition areas, networking formats, side events and real-life technology demonstrations. Across the event, the conversation was about how AI, software and connected systems can create measurable value in real-world business environments.

That is exactly where CorpIn’s mission fits in.

Because as AI becomes mission-critical, organizations need more than isolated pilots, 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 emerging everywhere. Teams experiment with tools. New platforms enter the market. Every system suddenly 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 describe as AI chaos.

But AI chaos is only the symptom.

The deeper problem is strategic blindness: organizations do not have 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 measure their AI maturity across key dimensions, benchmark themselves against peers and identify where action is most urgent. Instead of treating AI maturity as a vague consulting discussion, CorpIn turns it into a structured, data-backed and steerable management signal.

In simple terms:

CorpIn helps companies understand where they stand, how they compare and what they should do 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 corporates, technology providers, consulting firms, AI startups, mobility experts, industry leaders, investors and potential partners. Many of them are facing the same strategic question:

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

That question is becoming more urgent because AI is moving from experimentation into core business infrastructure. The next phase of AI adoption will not be won by the organizations that simply launch the most pilots. 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 creates value.

The platform combines internal and external maturity signals to create a structured view of an organization’s AI readiness. It supports leaders in moving from assumptions to evidence, from scattered initiatives to clear priorities and from isolated transformation projects to continuous AI maturity steering.

The six core maturity dimensions behind the assessment are:

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

Together, these dimensions create a holistic picture of how ready an organization is to create real value with AI.

CorpIn AI Maturity Awards – BCW26 Edition

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

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

The goal of the award was not to reward the loudest AI narrative. It was to highlight organizations that show 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 showed especially strong results in Awareness, Data Foundation and Security.

Microsoft’s result reflects a strong and highly visible AI footprint, particularly in AI expertise, AI-related communication, data maturity and security-related signals. The exceptional Awareness score underlines the company’s position as one of the most visible global actors in the AI ecosystem.

Congratulations to Microsoft on winning 1st place in the CorpIn AI Maturity Awards – BCW26 Edition.

2nd Place: IBM

IBM achieved 2nd place with an overall AI maturity score of 68.

IBM showed a particularly balanced maturity profile across Strategy, Technical Basis, Awareness and Security.

IBM’s result demonstrates the value of consistency. Rather than standing out in only one dimension, IBM performed strongly across multiple areas that are critical for sustainable AI transformation: technical readiness, strategic clarity, organizational awareness and security.

Congratulations to IBM on achieving 2nd place in the CorpIn AI Maturity Awards – BCW26 Edition.

Deltia.ai achieved 3rd place with an overall AI maturity score of 67.

Deltia.ai stood out particularly in Data Foundation, Strategy and Security.

As a focused AI company, Deltia.ai demonstrated especially strong signals in data-related maturity and security. The result shows that AI maturity is not only a question of company size. It is also about focus, strategic direction and the ability to build credible foundations for AI-enabled value creation.

Congratulations to Deltia.ai on achieving 3rd 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 evaluated AI adoption through isolated use cases, technology investments or proof-of-concepts. But this perspective is too narrow.

AI maturity is not only 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 follow assumptions rather than evidence.

This is the gap CorpIn is closing.

Keynotes, Speakers and the Broader BCW26 Ecosystem

Beyond the exhibition, BCW26 offered an impressive conference program with leading voices from business, technology, AI, mobility, cloud, robotics, government and research.

The speaker lineup 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 thematic breadth was equally impressive: AI and software-defined systems, autonomous mobility, agentic AI, digital twins, manufacturing co-intelligence, robotics, physical AI, security, trust and digital sovereignty.

For CorpIn, this environment was highly relevant. It showed how quickly AI is moving from abstract strategy into concrete systems, products and operating models. The discussions around 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.

Valuable Conversations, New Partnerships and Product Momentum

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

We met organizations that are actively building AI capabilities. We spoke with potential partners who see AI maturity as a critical input for 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 influence the next steps of our platform.

For us, BCW26 was not only about presenting CorpIn. It was also about listening: understanding what leaders need, where existing approaches fall short and how our platform can create even more practical value.

Several conversations from Berlin are already leading into 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 sparring partners for CorpIn’s strategic direction, positioning and go-to-market thinking. Meeting them in the context of Bosch Connected World made the event even more meaningful for our team.

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

Having these conversations in Berlin, surrounded by one of Europe’s strongest AI and technology ecosystems, gave us additional 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 created a strong setting for the opening and keynote program. The Arena Berlin provided the perfect environment for the exhibition, conversations, networking and side events.

Throughout both days, the event created a strong sense of momentum. From structured conference sessions to informal conversations, from booth discussions to evening networking formats, 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 happen in formal meeting rooms. They happened between sessions, at the booth, during networking formats and around the side events.

That is often where new partnerships begin.

What Comes Next for CorpIn

We are leaving Berlin with full notebooks, valuable new relationships and even stronger conviction.

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

The next step is clear: we will continue to develop CorpIn into the leading Corporate Intelligence Platform for AI maturity, benchmarking and strategic steering.

Our focus remains on helping organizations:

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

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

But it is only the beginning.
