Our engagement in venture capital projects shall not only help the development of local businesses but also attract young entrepreneurs from outside of North-Rhine Westphalia to settle in Solingen.

Our investment focus follows the legacy of the “City of Blades” by focusing on sustainable technology-based manufacturing companies.
