We support societal breakthrough innovations with the potential to improve the lives of millions while relieving the state of billions. SPRIND stands for the courage to think radically differently. For many years, we have supported breakthrough innovations that create new markets, unlock economic strength, and effectively solve ecological challenges. But this courage is needed not only in technology and business — it is equally essential within the state and society itself. That is why we are now specifically supporting societal breakthrough innovations with the potential to make large-scale contributions to improving our education system, labor market, and social and healthcare systems, or to fundamentally rethink the relationship between the state and its citizens.

Our goal is to strengthen social cohesion and reinforce trust in a modern, effective state. This, too, is a crucial pillar for the resilience and sovereignty of Germany and Europe. That is why, from now on, we are also searching here for the next leap.

SPRIND.SOCIETY supports entrepreneurial ventures that generate social value, unburden public finances, and effectively strengthen the cohesion of our nation. Our focus rests on technology-associated endeavors marked by high degrees of innovation and risk—yet also yielding substantial social return on investment. To accomplish this, we require the brightest minds from business, academia, and civil society.

Where conventional markets have previously fallen short—whether in education, retirement, healthcare, social inclusion, or public administration—we take root. We serve as a central point of contact for all the innovative thinkers out there who wish to contribute ideas that make Germany function more effectively.

As a cross-cutting initiative within SPRIND, we consolidate our expertise: technological know-how spanning all domains, direct access to federal networks, and specialized knowledge of societal value creation. In this way, we construct bridges for your visions and unleash your capacity for innovation in service of a modern state and a resilient society.
