We do what we do because we love it. We want to assist innovators who think the same way with their work, their progress. What this involves, for instance, is focusing not on control, but on shared goals and values.
Seeing and using opportunities, developing and implementing visions.
We have a great desire to tackle things and get something done.
The future is what we make of it.

Curiosity is the force that drives us. We burn to solve the big problems and take conscious risks to accomplish this.
We work all over Germany. We believe in strong networks – with shared goals.
We believe in humanist values – in freedom, self-determination and democracy.
We support only civilian projects, not military ones.
The common good and social issues are at the forefront of our work.

We want to transfer ideas into products and services that bring long-term benefits for Germany and Europe. That's why we always think and act entrepreneurially – with the agility of a start-up.
We are creating an environment in which personalities can unfold, focus on their strengths and collaborate with fellow innovators.
