Business Driven Innovation

Through strategic impulses, strong structures, and targeted acceleration, we drive forward Thuringian entrepreneurs, hidden champions, high-tech startups, and forward-looking investors.

Innovation needs acceleration

A strong economy depends on innovation—a lived culture of innovation, open innovation processes, and collaboration. Every company—whether a startup, SME, or large corporation—thrives on continuous development, advancing both itself and its products, not standing still but reimagining the future together with other innovative minds.

Targeted investments

Lengthy foundational research, emerging markets, and high risk: groundbreaking innovation involves uncertainty. We believe in it.

Through our mission investing strategy, we invest in promising Thuringian startups as well as technology and startup centers—aligned with our foundation’s purpose and with a long-term commitment to impact.

Innovative startups

We provide innovative startups with intensive, technology-focused coaching, access to a strong innovation network, and expertise in business strategy and financing.

DRIVING INTERNATIONALIZATION

Thuringia has the potential to become a deep-tech hub with international visibility.

Through matchmaking, increased visibility, and exchange formats, we support companies in scaling on the global market.
