HTGF is a leading venture capital organization, investing in Europe's most promising technologies and entrepreneurs. There is no doubt that German research occupies a premium standing in international comparison. However, far too few of its results flow onto the German market. HTGF invests capital to eliminate this deficit by transferring technologies from science to commercial applications.   

KfW supports small and medium-sized enterprises in Germany and investments abroad in order to give new impetus to the economy. It supports change and promotes promising ideas. KfW constantly adapts itself to changing markets, and uses its knowledge of the market and its close relations to its customers to develop innovative products for the needs of tomorrow.
