Deutsche Telekom Stiftung

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. 

Our aim is to improve the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) skills of children and teenagers through our activities. For us, this includes operating in the culture of digitality and learning with and about artificial intelligence. We want to improve educational opportunities for young people and focus on increasing the number of high-achieving students and reducing the number of low-achieving students. We work with schools and their partners in the education ecosystem and champion a better environment in the entire education system. 

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

Since we primarily operate in Germany, most of the content on our website is only available in German. The German version of our website contains information on our activities as well as studies, educational material and interesting articles on specific topics.

Deutsche Telekom Stiftung has two governing bodies: the Board of Trustees and the Executive Board. The Board of Trustees advises the Executive Board on the foundation’s development. The Executive Board manages the foundation’s assets, decides on strategic issues, programs and projects and manages the foundation in close consultation with the Executive Director.
