Prof. Dr. Jörg Müller-Lietzkow: “Thuringia is THE state of innovation. The high quality and range of applications for the Innovation Award once again impressively demonstrates how imaginative innovators, (young) companies, research institutions and universities in Bavaria are. Thuringia has its finger on the pulse: We can see from the innovations submitted that Thuringia is already working on the future and that topics such as sustainability, digitalization, artificial intelligence or the modernization of mechanical engineering and crafts are being considered, implemented and implemented. The Thuringian Innovation Award is always only a reflection of outstanding achievements. Its annual award rightly shines the spotlight on nominees and winners. “
The Thuringia Innovation Award is a competition organised by the Thuringian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Science and Digital Society, TÜV Thüringen e.V., the Ernst Abbe Foundation and the Thuringia Foundation for Technology, Innovation and Research (STIFT), which organises the Innovation Award.
Christiane Kilian, Board Member of the Foundation for Technology, Innovation and Research Thuringia: “We would like to thank all applicants who show a great wealth of ideas and thus prove that innovations from Thuringia can compete internationally. This strengthens the entire business location and is good news for Thuringia.”
Innovative successes and top performances need recognition, visibility and networks. As one of the most important business prizes in the Free State, the competition has been honouring outstanding innovations made in Thuringia since 1994. The competition is under the patronage of the Thuringian Minister of Economics, Science and Digital Society, Wolfgang Tiefensee. Companies of all sizes, but also individuals, research institutions and universities that have their headquarters or a business premises in Thuringia are eligible to participate.
The winners of the Thuringia Innovation Award will be announced at the award ceremony on 4.12.2024 at the Congress Centrum Weimarhalle.
