cdw Stiftung gGmbH

The cdw Stiftung is an operative foundation that is committed both regionally and globally. It was founded in 2012 by the founders of SMA Solar Technology AG to initiate and support innovative projects[1][3].

The mission of the cdw Stiftung is to strengthen the North Hesse region economically, socially and culturally. At the same time, it promotes the development of rural regions in developing countries through electrification with regenerative energy supply systems, in particular PV-based island systems[1][5]. The foundation attaches great importance to the active participation of local actors and the creation of sustainable business models[3].

• PV island systems: These systems enable the reliable power supply of villages in developing countries and contribute to economic development[1][3].
• Regional energy transition: The cdw Stiftung supports the energy transition in North Hesse through various initiatives and tools for monitoring the expansion of renewable energies[1][4].
• Cultural projects: It promotes cultural projects such as audio guides and walks to preserve and present the cultural heritage of the region[4].

The cdw Stiftung is committed to sustainable development by:

• Promoting regenerative energy: The use of PV island systems reduces dependence on fossil fuels and protects the environment[1][3].
• Strengthening the local economy: By creating business models that involve local actors, economic independence is promoted[3].
• Cultural engagement: The foundation is involved in cultural projects to preserve and promote the regional heritage[4].
