✨ 2025 proved what’s possible when strong ideas meet teams who build with conviction.
✴️ A major milestone: Futury, the Startup Factory, won the German Federal Government’s flagship “Lighthouse” competition together with the Rhine-Main Universities and Frankfurt School of Finance & Management—funding that gave many teams real momentum.
✴️ At HIGHEST, we added another building block: the launch of our new Company Builder program for science-based founders.
🚀 The TU Ideas Competition once again showcased the depth of inventiveness at Technische Universität Darmstadt—high-quality ideas with clear relevance.
🚀 #INNODAY25 brought packed halls in autumn, great conversations, and a new visitor record. The energy was tangible.
✨ And one more thing: HIGHEST already received an early Christmas present.
🎁 5,000 followers on LinkedIn. Thank you for your trust!
None of this would have been possible without you—our partners, supporters, contributors, sponsors, and friends of HIGHEST. You supported us, opened doors, and helped make things happen.
✨ On behalf of the HIGHEST team: Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a 2026 full of innovation and success. We’re excited for what’s next—with you by our side.
Please note: Our office will be closed from 23 December 2025 to 3 January 2026.
