Koehler Group has strengthened its commitment to the environment by entering into a new partnership for funding innovations from the paper and renewable energy segments with non-profit UnternehmerTUM.
Based in Munich in Germany, UnternehmerTUM is responsible for 50 high-growth tech start-ups each year and is widely regarded as one of Europe’s leading centres for business creation and innovation.
The partnership will establish Koehler as part of the FamilienunternehmerTUM initiative, allowing it to collaborate with start-ups and also commit funding and investment to new technologies.
“With this partnership with UnternehmerTUM, we are investing in the Koehler Group’s innovative capacity,” Koehler chief executive Kai Furler says, adding: “The family business can look back on a 200-year history, in which the continual development of innovations always secured the success of future generations.
“Providing support for start-ups also contributes to the ongoing development of entrepreneurship in Germany.”
Christian Mohr, chief customer officer of UnternehmerTUM and also the founder of the FamilienunternehmerTUM initiative, adds: “Companies alone can no longer solve the many challenges of our time. In UnternehmerTUM's ecosystem, Koehler has the chance to meet strategically important implementation partners, and sometimes even surprising, unexpected collaborations.
“At the same time, we are delighted that the Koehler Group is contributing its decades of expertise and industrial excellence and investing in new technological know-how.”
