Holding company
Steinbeis stands for an entrepreneurial process of knowledge and technology transfer in which commercially recognised application and entrepreneurial action are of decisive importance. To put this fundamental principle into practice, Steinbeis has, since 1983, provided an organisational and legal framework within which a Steinbeis enterprise – which is not legally independent – can operate with entrepreneurial autonomy on the basis of a set of rules and a related contract.
The central holding company assumes the necessary formal legal sponsorship function for the Steinbeis company, thereby providing the organisational and legal framework for its activities. It ensures compliance with statutory and network-related requirements, as well as the exercise of the necessary powers of representation and signing authority, whilst operational, technical and economic responsibility remains decentralised with the respective entrepreneurial stakeholders. In this way, it combines legal certainty with the entrepreneurial freedom that characterises Steinbeis.
One of these holding companies is Steinbeis Innovation gGmbH.
