We encourage the courage to start afresh.
Our goal is to enable effective solutions to current challenges such as climate protection, resource scarcity, and the shortage of skilled workers.
We are committed to innovation and transfer from cutting-edge research so that more research results are put into practice and generate social benefits. By promoting young professionals in a professional world that is changing as a result of AI and digitalization, we are helping to renew vocational training. Our activities are based on German-American dialogue; the exchange between our cultures creates a new perspective for new beginnings.

Transatlantic dialogue
Projects with and in the USA are of particular importance to the Joachim Herz Foundation: the founder, Joachim Herz, had close ties to the USA. In addition to the Joachim Herz House in Atlanta, which non-profit organizations can use free of charge as a conference and meeting venue, we particularly support exchange programs for schools and vocational schools, as well as for students, trainees, vocational school students, and young professionals.
