The CLAAS Foundation- Education and knowledge for a future with innovative agriculture

The CLAAS Foundation was established in 1999 under the patronage of my father Helmut Claas. It is the first foundation in East Westphalia-Lippe to focus on promoting young talents in the field of agricultural engineering. The foundation contributes to education and knowledge in agriculture. Through various initiatives, the possibilities and perspectives of modern agricultural technology are to be made tangible – especially for the young generation, but also for the public. This was a matter close to my father’s heart. After his passing away, I would like to continue the family tradition and support young people who are interested in agriculture and agricultural technology, encourage them and give them space for their ideas.
