„Zukunftsfonds Heilbronn“ and „Born2Grow“ with new investment strategy
ZFHN – Zukunftsfonds Heilbronn will in the future be focussing, comprehensively, on networking activities and investments in the region. “Just as its name promises, with Zukunftsfonds we intend to ensure further growth of the regional network in Heilbronn, intensify collaboration with medium-size companies in the region and further additional joint projects with the university incubator “Campus Founders” based in Heilbronn”, Villinger has explained. Alongside additional investments in startups recognised in the Campus Founders incubator programme, this also includes the common alignment of the innovative entrepreneurship conference “Slush‘D” in Heilbronn in September.
“With the new alignment of our funds and the varied activities in the field of entrepreneurship training, I find that the Heilbronn region is optimally equipped for the future”, says Villinger. The educational campus includes not only Heilbronn University, the Baden-Württemberg Dual University and the branch office of the Munich Technical University (TUM) but also several high-class educational institutions. The Fraunhofer research and innovation centre for cognitive service systems (KODIS) and the Ferdinand Steinbeis Institute are two highly innovative research societies complementing the academic landscape and the innovation network in the Neckar.
Companies based domestically or abroad that are willing to settle are also supported in their search for commercial space, and staff, as well as with formalities, by Move2Grow. Villinger: “We regard the current crisis as an opportinity to ensure even better positioning of our activities and our already strong location.”
