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.
