HZG Group is a Coburg, Germany based venture capital and business angel investment firm founded in 2021 by Kerstin and Frank Carsten Herzog, who previously founded metal 3D printing pioneer Concept Laser (majority acquired by GE in 2016). HZG invests in early-stage additive manufacturing and Industry 4.0 startups, primarily in the DACH region, through its EUR 60 million HZG Additive Manufacturing Tech Fund, and also runs its own R&D and application center, NADDCON GmbH, to support portfolio founders technically. Rapid Liquid Print's 2024 Series A, which HZG led, was only its second investment outside the DACH region.
