“Die Heilbronner Zukunftsmacher – Auf der Jagd nach Startup-Unternehmen” is the title of the new SWR television report about the ZFHN Zukunftsfonds Heilbronn, which will be broadcasted on Wednesday, October 31. SWR editor Andrea Lotter and her team accompanied ZFHN managing director Thomas R. Villinger, his colleagues and business partners over several weeks working with national and international start-ups. The film is part of the series “made in Südwest”.

The film’s stops include the offices of ZFHN directly on the Neckar River, the two associated companies smartGAS from Heilbronn and Greenovation from Freiburg, as well as a longer business trip to Israel to establish new contacts with startups and educational institutions. “The close cooperation with the camera team was great fun, but at the same time it was also quite exhausting and time-consuming. I would like to thank all those involved in the project and those participating in the film project,” explains Thomas R. Villinger, Managing Director of ZFHN.

Here is the SWR announcement: “Jobs like he does are rare in the world, says Tom Villinger. The man from Heilbronn is looking for companies that he can support financially and logistically with the “Zukunftsfonds Heilbronn” (Future Fund Heilbronn) as they make the leap from start-up to successful company. He is a headhunter for young companies”.

The broadcast will take place on Wednesday, 31 October 2018 at 18:15.
