Pioneering Progress: The Shaparak Foundation Story

In 2019, inspired by a rich Persian heritage and a fervor for advancing scientific knowledge, our founder and a forward-thinking investor, established the Shaparak Foundation in Frankfurt, Germany. This foundation, driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to discovery, has since expanded its horizons to encompass a broader spectrum of scientific endeavors. While initially motivated by personal experiences, our mission has evolved to embrace a more comprehensive scientific mandate. We now strive to drive progress in various scientific fields, ranging from environmental research to technological innovation. Our journey is a testament to the power of curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge, transcending the boundaries of individual disciplines. It's an expedition fueled by our founder's unwavering belief in the transformative potential of science, especially for future generations. We recognize the critical importance of nurturing young minds and their scientific aspirations, ensuring a legacy of continuous innovation and exploration. Our broadened vision is a pledge to significantly impact not only individual lives but also the global scientific landscape, making lasting contributions that echo through time.
