WIPOTEC Foundation – Margit and Theo Düppre: Because the future needs community
The WIPOTEC Foundation – Margit and Theo Düppre was established to uphold corporate responsibility in the long-term and in a sustainable manner. It combines economic continuity with social commitment and pursues a clear goal: the promotion of STEM skills (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
Under the guiding principle “The future needs community,” the Foundation is particularly active in the Kaiserslautern and Western Palatinate region. Through its educational activities, and collaborating with local stakeholders, it provides sustainable initiatives to prepare young people for a future that is increasingly technology-driven.
Workshops for promoting STEM subjects
One of the Foundation’s key objectives is to get awaken interest in children, teenagers, and young adults in science and technology from an early age. In order to present STEM concepts in a practical and comprehensible way, the Foundation offers workshops in collaboration with regional partners. These workshops present technical and scientific content in a clear and concise manner and bring this content to life through practical exercises, experiments, and collaboration. The focus is on arousing curiosity, overcoming reservations, and promoting the joy of discovery and experimentation.
Ensuring success. Taking responsibility.
Further activities of the Foundation
In addition to its charitable educational activities, the Foundation has another key role: It holds shares in WIPOTEC GmbH. This secures the company’s long-term independence and continuity, protects the management’s autonomy in decision-making, and supports a sustainable strategic orientation. This structure ensures that the company remains stable, innovative, and future-oriented – even across generations.
At the same time, the Foundation directly combines business success with social responsibility in this way: It enables Wipotec’s economic strength to be used specifically to promote education, STEM skills, and regional initiatives without being contingent on short-term market constraints. In this way, sustainable business practices are closely aligned with the Foundation’s charitable mission.
Board of Directors and Board of Trustees
The Board of Directors of the Wipotec Foundation Margit and Theo Düppre has the responsibility of realizing the foundation’s charitable goals and shaping its strategic direction. They are supported by the Board of Trustees, which acts in an advisory capacity, provides impetus, and oversees the Foundation’s work. This structure ensures that the Foundation is managed professionally, transparently, and sustainably.
