  Meeting High-Tech Gründerfonds - Germany’s Leading Seed Investor

  Yesterday I was invited to participate in the High-Tech Partnering Conference 2011 (HTPC11) organised by High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF). In fact, @HTGF_ is Germany’s leading seed investor claiming a market share of 50%. Check this out: they make every second seed deal in Germany. HTGF has several exciting smart green startups in their portfolio, some of which will be featured at Ecosummit 2011 (ECO11). I believe that HTGF’s fund strategy focused on seed investments across the key high-tech industries is its secret of success and a role model for other countries that want to foster entrepreneurship. Disclaimer: HTGF is ECO11 Sponsor.
  
  On the left, the photo shows Marcus Ziegler, Executive Director of RWE Innogy Venture Capital, making an introduction to Dr. Andreas Rückemann, CEO of OPV maker Heliatek, prior to his investor pitch (standing on the right). In the middle is Dr. Torsten Wipiejewski, Partner of the Finnish Cleantech VC VNT Management. RWE Innogy is invested in Heliatek and Marcus stated that Heliatek has one of the best management teams he has ever seen. I agree, especially after enjoying a great discussion about the Smart Green City TXL+ in Berlin with Andreas afterwards.
