On 10 July 2025, MAHLE announced: Clear the stage for new ideas and technologies. This year’s MAHLE New Ventures network event in Stuttgart focused on the exchange of ideas relating to innovations, partnerships, and future-oriented solutions. MAHLE chargeBIG was also part of the event.
MAHLE New Ventures annual networking event took place on 10 July at MAHLE INSIDE at the company’s headquarters in Stuttgart. As a wholly owned subsidiary of MAHLE, chargeBIG was also represented with a stand and presented how charging infrastructure can be implemented in a simple and flexibly scalable manner.
The event brought together MAHLE employees, external investors, partner companies, and numerous start-ups. Projects from the fields of development, production, artificial intelligence, and new business models were presented. In the open marketplace, interested parties were able to find out about specific application examples and talk to the exhibiting companies.
The afternoon featured keynote speeches and discussions, including one with Prof. Dr. Tobias Gutmann (EBS Wiesbaden), who spoke about the role of corporate partnerships and strategic investments in the current market situation. A panel discussion also highlighted how large companies and start-ups can learn from each other – particularly with regard to speed, processes and innovation culture.
At the end of the networking event, various start-ups and venture capital funds in which MAHLE invests presented their current projects. These insights provided a good basis for further dialogue and possible new collaborations.
The networking event served as a platform for knowledge transfer, new contacts, and entrepreneurial thinking. For chargeBIG, it offers an important opportunity to position its own solution in MAHLE’s innovation environment – in a practical, open manner and in direct exchange with partners.
