On the premises of the Triangle on Kronenplatz, we had the opportunity to exchange ideas with representatives from numerous foundations. Such events are important for our project, as we would like to expand our network of potential sponsors in order to successfully realise our project.

After an introduction by the President of KIT, Jan S. Hesthaven, examples of good cooperation between KIT and foundations were presented. We were also able to present our KommMa project in a pitch in the plenary session. After the presentation of the newly founded platform GIVING, further concrete examples were presented in a ‘walk around’. We were also represented with our KommMa project.

Many thanks to the Institute for Innovation and Relationship Management (IRM) for the organisation and to the team from Triangel for the pleasant atmosphere on the day of the event. Special thanks go to Dorothea Flößer, Dagmar Seelig, Anna Knaus, Thomas Hirth, Jens Fahrenberg, RTTP and Ingo Laubenthal as well as Barbara Schmuker for the moderation!
