The Gründerpreis of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe Baden-Württemberg, a business start-up award, was set up 14 years ago, and for the past eight years it has also been presented to an individual in recognition of their life's work. In 2011 the award was presented to Heidelberg entrepreneur Prof. Dr. h.c. Viktor Dulger (*18.12.1935; † 21.03.2016), founder and chairperson of ProMinent GmbH.
