Sometimes the best ideas don’t come in the conference room, but on the go. That was exactly the idea behind a group hiking day organized by Hilmar Platz<\/a><\/strong>, Jozo Legatar<\/a><\/strong> and Matthias Brinkmann<\/a><\/strong> in Kipfenberg. The three have long been united by a common goal: How can investors and exciting innovations be better connected? Together, they have more than 70 years of experience, a well-established network of investors, and strong connections to companies, projects, and people with innovative ideas. This expertise will be pooled even more effectively in the future. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Out of the conference room, into your hiking boots<\/h2>\n

To discuss the next steps, they deliberately chose not to meet at the conference table this time. Instead, the three of them set out from Kipfenberg at 9 a.m.\u2014with no set route and no rigid agenda. They simply started walking, talked to each other, and saw where the path would take them. <\/p>\n

A nice parallel to business life quickly became apparent: Not every single step has to be set in stone from the very beginning. Sometimes the right path only becomes clear as you go along. And when you look at the map, you suddenly realize where you\u2019ve actually ended up and how far you\u2019ve already come. The hike provided the perfect setting for exactly that. In addition to business ideas and concrete plans for the future, there was plenty of room for personal conversations. After all, good collaboration isn\u2019t built solely on skills and contacts, but above all on trust. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Capital meets innovation<\/h2>\n

These discussions are now set to lead to something more. Under the motto \u201cCapital Meets Innovation,\u201d Hilmar, Jozo, and Matthias aim to bring their diverse expertise and networks together. On one side are investors looking for interesting innovations, companies, and investment opportunities. On the other hand, there are innovative ideas and companies that need capital, contacts, or experienced partners to take their next steps. <\/p>\n

The goal is to create a stronger connection right between these two worlds.<\/p>\n

After about nine hours, we headed back home\u2014with tired legs, lots of conversations, and, above all, new plans in tow. Maybe this will even turn into a format of its own: Innovation Hiking\u2014simply setting out together, exchanging ideas, and discovering new paths. If you\u2019d like to join us on a hike or discuss capital, innovations, and potential collaborations, please feel free to get in touch with us. <\/p>\n

Curious now?<\/strong>
\nOur contact persons will be happy to help:<\/p>\n
