How to Build an Ecosystem from Scratch

The Dieter Schwarz Foundation has been dedicated to promoting education, knowledge, and innovation for over two decades. Standing as one of the largest funding foundations in Europe, its activities have increasingly become evergreen topics in both German and European press. Beyond partnering with universities like Stanford and Oxford, the foundation is recognized as the primary driver for transforming the regional economic development in Heilbronn. With unique projects, such as establishing the Education Campus Heilbronn and initiating the Innovation Park Artificial Intelligence (IPAI), the foundation strives to fulfill its founder's mission: "Promote Education. Share Knowledge. Venture Future.” In MIT REAP-terms, the foundation is actively working on building Europe's leading technology ecosystem from scratch.
