Leitbild

We believe the future is built — not predicted.
And it is built by people who act with courage, responsibility, and imagination.

We believe innovation is not a luxury — it is a duty.
A duty to our region, to society, and to the planet that sustains us.

We believe the next Silicon Valley will not be a copy of the old one.
It will grow from places with strong communities, diverse thinkers, resilient industries, and human-centered values.
It will grow here — in the Neckar Valley.

We believe entrepreneurship must change.
Not hype-driven. Not extractive. Not built on burnout or exclusion.
But future-proof:

• resilient
• responsible
• inclusive
• grounded
• and scalable for the long term.

We believe that everyone can be powerful.
Every team, every university, every town—
when connected to the right ecosystem —
they become engines of transformation.

We believe SMEs are not the “old economy”.
They are the backbone of Europe’s future.
When startups and SMEs build together, innovation becomes real — not theoretical.

We believe an entrepreneurial region must be open to the world.
Talent, ideas, founders, and researchers from everywhere
are welcome to shape the Neckar Valley and beyond with us.

We believe in learning by doing.
In experiments over perfection.
In applied science over abstract theory.
In co-creation over competition.

We believe in entrepreneurship with purpose.
That contributes to climate resilience, digital transformation, social cohesion, and economic renewal.
That strengthens communities, not isolates them.
That creates dignity, not only profit.

We believe the future needs a different kind of founder.
Founders who
see systems,
embrace complexity,
act ethically with technology,
and know that impact and profitability can reinforce each other.

We believe that this model can become a model for Europe.
Where people build solutions that matter,
where businesses grow responsibly,
where innovation is accessible to all,
and where the future is not feared — but created.

We are Zukunft.Gründen.
We empower the next generation of future-proof entrepreneurs.
We build organizations that will define the next 30 years.
We connect startups, SMEs, universities, and global innovators.
We are shaping ecosystems where innovation begins, and impact spreads.

The future is calling, are you ready to answer?
