Building The Future Together

Investing in emerging talent is an investment in our future. The Lürssen Foundation is our way of fostering young and creative engineers who share our passion for innovation in the maritime industry. Through the foundation, we drive innovation while offering scholars a unique opportunity to experience life as marine engineers at Lürssen.

Beyond education, the Lürssen Foundation is committed to philanthropy and urban development in key coastal regions. We are actively exploring potential partnerships with organisations focused on enhancing the quality of life in maritime hubs, as well as startups developing new solutions for sustainability challenges and the maritime industry. By driving these initiatives, we aim to contribute to positive change in our industry and its wider community.

Engineering the future

The Lürssen Foundation is committed to long-term collaboration, learning and dialogue drive meaningful scalable progress, aiming to create lasting value for the maritime industry and society as a whole.

The first initiative is a six-month scholarship programme for students dedicated to exploring innovative solutions to social and ecological challenges. We invited university scholars to join our intensive programme, to research and develop approaches to the maritime industry's future development. Through hands-on shipyard experience, expert mentorship, and opportunities to develop research projects, this scholarship programme provides a unique platform to make a real impact, enhance skills, and bring ideas to life.
