Digital recipes platform myTaste, today announced a “game changing” deal to integrate its app with smart home appliances from BSH. The partnership will make 200,000 food recipes smarter and readily available to interact with connected appliances via myTaste’s app.
– “This deal represents a significant step towards myTaste’s goal to be a truly multi-platform company and opens up a whole new business area for us in IoT in general and the smart kitchen in particular,” said Jonas Söderqvist, CEO of myTaste.
This partnership between myTaste and BSH Home Appliances, brings the world's most comprehensive recipe platform, to Europe's leading kitchen appliances brands. The integration will allow home users to send recipe data and control Bosch and Siemens appliances with Home Connect remotely from within the myTaste recipes app. As part of the cooperation BSH is also investing in promotion activities on the myTaste platform in the Nordic countries Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.
– "Our vision is to be the household name when it comes to recipes so naturally we have to be present whenever the consumer needs a recipe. Lately this translates into smart connected appliances and when BSH Home Appliances was looking for a global partner there was a perfect match. We consider this to be a true validation of the world-class quality of the platform we have built and that we have just started to scratch the surface of a huge market opportunity to bring our app to the fast growing IoT market.” said Jonas Söderqvist, CEO of myTaste.
– " BSH Appliances with Home Connect are designed and developed to be remarkable intuitive solutions with the aim of delivering a perfect result for users every time.

We think this is a game changer that will allow us to continue to deliver a truly full and seamless cooking experience to the consumers at any level.” said Jingqi Liu, Senior Product Manager Home Connect, BSH Northern Europe.
IHS forecasts that the IoT market will grow from an installed base of 15.4 billion devices in 2015 to 30.7 billion devices in 2020 and 75.4 billion in 2025. McKinsey Global Institute research estimates that the impact of the Internet of Things (IoT) on the global economy might be as high as $6.2 trillion by 2025.
