OWIS supports the next generation of Nordic Paraski athletes
As the official mobility partner of the youth athletes in the German Nordic Paraski Team, it’s a matter close to our hearts to help pave the way – toward equal opportunities, greater quality of life, and success in competitive sports. Because those who give everything deserve the best support.
MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE – TOGETHER
Our contribution to greater equality
Turning dreams into reality takes more than talent and discipline – it takes the right support. And that’s exactly what we want to provide: As the team’s new mobility partner, we help young athletes travel safely and reliably to training camps and competitions and follow their own unique path.
What might sound like a given can be a major challenge for these young talents of the German Nordic Paraski Team training sessions and events often take place far from home. Organizing the logistics is demanding – for the athletes and their families alike. To us, mobility is not just about getting from A to B. It means opportunity. It means access. And it’s a key to success – in sports and in life.
That’s why we’re proud to support the team by contributing to their ongoing travel costs – initially until the next Winter Paralympics in 2026, with an option to extend through 2030.
“I come from a family of winter sports enthusiasts, and I know what it means to accompany children to competitions and how easily young talent can be overlooked when the right conditions aren’t in place.
That’s why supporting young people living with disabilities is a personal matter to me. They deserve the same opportunities to pursue their goals.”

On tour with the young paraski athletes
We’ve created a short film with the Nordic Paraski Team: “Making dreams come true – together” follows the young athletes during their summer training at Notschrei and shows what’s possible when people come together.
An initiative that matches our mission
At OWIS, our mission goes beyond developing high-tech solutions for future industries. We believe in taking social responsibility seriously. That’s why we invest in sustainability through photovoltaics and energy-efficient production, support our employees’ health, train the next generation of talent and why we also step in where young people need a boost.
Since 2023, we’ve been a proud member of the Zielgerade2030 initiative, a network of companies committed to climate neutrality. In 2024, OWIS became part of Klimwin BW, setting its own ambitious targets for sustainable business practices. Supporting the Nordic Paraski youth team is just one more way we live our mission: Turning visionary ideas into reality – together.
