Turning knowledge into skill

Deutsche Telekom Stiftung was established in 2003 to strengthen Germany's position as an education, research and technology leader. Today, it is one of the country's large corporate foundations with an endowment of EUR 150 million. 

The foundation’s vision is that all children and adolescents in Germany have an opportunity to develop their individual potential, regardless of their background.

Its projects focus on education in the STEM subjects: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (known in German as MINT: Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften, Technik). The goal is to inspire more young people to engage with these subjects and to make STEM education more appealing and effective overall.

To achieve this, Telekom-Stiftung collaborates with schools, teachers, and many other partners in the education sector. In many of its projects, the foundation also develops free teaching materials. Additionally, it commissions scientific studies to contribute to educational insights.
