In bright sunshine, many guests accepted the invitation of the ZFHN Zukunftsfonds Heilbronn to the traditional summer party. ZFHN business partners, national and international investment managers and representatives of business and politics met at the top of the island in the Neckar.

Thomas R. Villinger, CEO of ZFHN, welcomed among the guests the mayors of Heilbronn Harry Mergel and Martin Diepgen. The Israeli series founder Harel Boren, managing director of the KI start-up TinyInspector gave a deep insight into the Israeli start-up scene in his keynote speech. ZFHN invested in the company at the end of last year. Harel Boren made it clear that a cooperation between Israeli high-tech start-ups and the innovative SMEs of Baden-Württemberg could form a perfect combination. Israeli developers bring new ideas and concepts and established industrial companies that would have immediate application possibilities and perfect market access.

Thomas Villinger announced that in the future there will be further cooperations of ZFHN with Israeli startups and educational institutions.
