At the close of the year Walter Hiller will begin a well-earned retirement after many years of service for SAGST, starting in 2002 as a member of the Board of Trustees. In an interview, our “foreign minister” reflects on an exciting professional career and a “very fulfilling time at SAGST”.

Grateful for the inspiring and fruitful cooperation in 2016, we wish our project partners and potential applicants a Merry Christmas, peaceful holidays and a happy New Year!

The Software AG Foundation has been supporting independent non-profits and initiatives for over 20 years. What all of these projects have in common is a desire to find new paths to addressing urgent social issues. In our Annual Report 2015/16 (only available in German), we too are taking a new path: unlike last year, this year's Annual Report is not focused on one special thematic issue.

After the new design of the annual report in 2013 – and we are grateful for the very positive feedback – the annual report for 2014 is now available. The annual report is also available for download in PDF format (in German).
