Bring your ideas to life at the IoT hackathon

This year’s Bosch ConnectedExperience (BCX) took place on May 13-15, 2019. The three-day Internet of Things (IoT) hackathon is a forum for backend and frontend developers, product owners, product managers, UX experts, and innovators from Bosch customers, partners, and start-ups.

In 2019 700 developers competed in a broad variety of challenges, ranging from Mobility and Manufacturing to Buildings and Utility Cross Domain and Social Impact. Bosch and its ecosystem partners provided a comprehensive choice of hardware and software products for hackers to create prototypes, as well as an environment to explore advanced methods in UX, design thinking, and business modelling.
