At bm|t we have often high­ligh­ted bold­ness as a cen­tral qua­lity for foun­ders and com­pa­nies navi­ga­ting change. As 2026 unfolds, ano­ther theme is moving to the fore­ground: resi­li­ence in action – the ability not only to endure a chal­len­ging envi­ron­ment, but to con­vert it into con­crete pro­gress. In a mar­ket still shaped by sel­ec­tive fun­ding, hig­her capi­tal costs and rapid tech­no­lo­gi­cal shifts, resi­li­ent foun­ders are those who keep exe­cu­ting, laun­ching pro­ducts and ente­ring mar­kets despite uncertainty.

In this sense, Q1 2026 has alre­ady shown how resi­li­ence, com­bi­ned with tech­no­lo­gi­cal depth, con­ti­nues to under­pin strong invest­ment cases in our port­fo­lio. With new finan­cing rounds and fresh port­fo­lio addi­ti­ons, we see once again how Thu­rin­gia-lin­ked inno­va­tors are sha­ping key tech­no­logy fields – from IoT and edge com­pu­ting to the energy tran­si­tion. Tog­e­ther with our co-inves­tors and part­ners, bm|t remains com­mit­ted to sup­port­ing these foun­ders with capi­tal, exper­tise and a long-term perspective.
