Thinking about the mobility of the future demands “out of the box thinking”. That’s what Alexandra Renner and her colleagues at the BMW Startup Garage do on a daily basis. As Startup Lead R&D at the BMW Startup Garage, Alexandra Renner brings together BMW business units facing technical challenges with startups that offer solutions to these challenges. Today, vehicles might be considered a functional part of the world. In Renner’s vision, however, cars will be so much more: an inseparable part of daily life, a space of one’s own, a true companion.
