Enactus Pre-Presentations 2026 at FERI: Entrepreneurship with Social Impact

How can economic thinking and social value be combined? The Enactus Pre-Presentations for the Southwest Region - which we had the pleasure of hosting in Bad Homburg this year - provided impressive answers to this question.

Innovative Solutions to Social Challenges

During the Pre-Presentations, the participating Enactus teams presented their projects for the upcoming Enactus Germany National Cup. All of them impressively demonstrated how entrepreneurial action can help address current social and environmental challenges. 

The projects ranged from producing sustainable fuels from plastic waste to securing the food supply in Namibia and initiatives to prevent food waste, as well as innovative insurance solutions for crisis situations and AI-supported concepts for urban greening and climate protection projects. What they all have in common: They share the common goal of developing sustainable and scalable solutions to real-world problems, thereby making a positive contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Education, Entrepreneurship, and Social Value

The combination of education, entrepreneurial thinking, and social impact has always been at the heart of the Enactus network. That is precisely why we are committed to partnering with Enactus Germany - because, for FERI, education is a key to equal opportunity and social participation. At the same time, we are convinced that economic success and social responsibility go hand in hand. 

The projects developed by the students impressively demonstrate how this conviction can be translated into concrete action. What is particularly impressive is the high level of dedication with which the students pursue their projects alongside their studies. With creativity, initiative, and an entrepreneurial mindset, they develop solutions that have a measurable social impact.

Impact that Extends Far Beyond Individual Projects

The social relevance of the Enactus network is also evident in its global impact. Every year, Enactus projects around the world reach hundreds of thousands of people, saved several hundred thousand metric tons of CO₂ and helped reduce or prevent millions of metric tons of waste.

The Enactus motto, #WeAllWin, sums up this approach: Sustainable solutions create added value for people, the environment, and the economy alike.

We would like to thank Enactus Germany for their trust and our long-standing partnership. We would also like to thank all participating teams, alumni, advisors, and partners, as well as the many colleagues at FERI who contributed to the success of the event.
