Adding value through active partnership

Only through lasting partnerships can shareholdings and investors enjoy mutual benefits on a sustained basis. This is why T-Venture's investments are always geared to long-term partnership. Value enhancement i.e. adding value is the foremost consideration at all times. T-Venture accompanies and supports profitable, up-and-coming companies, from the first growth phase through to market success. T-Venture creates extraordinary win-win situations by acting as a catalyst between Deutsche Telekom and companies.

Targeted synergies with Deutsche Telekom business units

T-Venture's task is to chose the right companies and actively support them during the start-up phase and their future growth. It focuses primarily on companies with considerable growth potential, that, through innovative products and business models, demonstrate technological and economic synergies with the strategic business units of Deutsche Telekom. From a early point on, Deutsche Telekom's venture funds link the innovative products and technologies of the shareholdings to the strategy of the respective Deutsche Telekom business unit.

Networks & communities

Cooperation with T-Venture guarantees the company access to the comprehensive expertise and extensive network of contacts of the entire Deutsche Telekom Group. Contact with important national and international representatives from the fields of politics, industry and science facilitates entry into the telecommunications industry. Valuable relationships with potential customers, suppliers and sales channels help companies establish themselves on the market. Thanks to Deutsche Telekom AG's position as a successful global player, up-and-coming companies also can enhance their reputation and credibility without losing their independence.
