Sustainable mobility requires innovative, forward-looking technologies. This is why Deutsche Bahn collaborates extensively with universities and supports young start-ups with expertise and financial resources.

Commitment to the common good

Beyond its mobility and transport services, the DB Group also seeks to make a contribution to the common good. This includes providing aid in humanitarian emergencies as well as its long-standing cooperation with charitable organizations such as the station missions. In addition, the company promotes young athletic talent and supports various social institutions through its Group-wide corporate volunteering initiative #DBpacktan.
