Shaping the future means investing in the future.
The entrepreneur Helmut Fischer has done this and transferred his entire company assets to a charitable foundation: out of personal desire, for the benefit of the community. He was convinced that the areas of science, research, education, and art are not only the pillars of our society but should be made accessible to everyone and particularly promoted. Not least by those who have sufficient means for it.

Ranging from financial support for the "Jugend forscht" competition and the funding of special university professorships through to the preservation of artworks, the Helmut Fischer Foundation has a broad reach. Its rare interdisciplinary approach promotes cross-pollination between the fields of economics and culture, natural and social sciences, technology and art – indeed, between today and tomorrow.
