"I started the foundation in honor of Prof. Lichtenberg and his pro-active commitment towards his students, and because I was so impressed by his cooperation with Albania.

"As CEO of the Bremen HANSA-FLEX Group, a worldwide corporation, I know how important languages are for forming business relationships. That is why I was so taken by the idea of a "Language Festival". HANSA-FLEX is happy to support the festival because culture and knowledge is so important for the Bremen location. In keeping with our motto: We are aware of our responsibilities." (Thomas Armerding, CEO HANSA-FLEX Hydraulik GmbH Bremen)

"Bremen has many strong points – the University of Bremen with its excellent academic education and research is one of them. Moreover, apart from the innovative potential, it is equally important how the University manages to communicate research findings to the citizens of Bremen. Take the topic of climate warming, for instance – surely one of the greatest challenges facing society and the economy in the coming decades. For our bank, supporting the University of Bremen is an investment in the future." (Dr. Birgit Krull, Press Officer of the Sparkasse Bremen)
