We look forward to the future – and want to help shape it. Therefore SPRIND is looking for answers to the social, ecological and economic challenges of our time.
Our goal is to create new breakthrough innovations from Germany. That means products, services and systems that make all our lives noticeably and sustainably better.
To achieve this, we bring together new thinkers from science and business, people with outstanding ideas, special expertise and passion.
We create spaces in which people can take risks and think radically differently. We create an entrepreneurial environment that makes ideas become reality.
Our support is comprehensive. We finance, help put together teams and link them with the right networks from science, business and politics.
We only support innovators and innovations that are based on basic humanistic values.
Innovation is created through passion
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.
The focus is on people and the common good
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.The future can be shaped
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.
Progress requires entrepreneurial thinking and action
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.
Failure is an integral part of the process
Curiosity is the force that drives us. We burn to solve the big problems and take conscious risks to accomplish this.
Success calls for personality and teamwork
We are creating an environment in which personalities can unfold, focus on their strengths and collaborate with fellow innovators.
