"Bringing together Bosch’s global technology leadership with SITRI’s unique platform for rapid incubation and commercialization of new IoT technologies will enable a fast start on designs that can be commercialized quickly for this fast moving market," said Charles Yang, president of SITRI, in a statement.
SITRI is associated with the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology (SIMIT) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and through both with the Chinese government.
