AIMS

The aim of the capital region’s Innovation Award is to promote, present and honour future-proof and marketable developments by start-ups or spin-offs, founders, established companies or networked research institutions. With the establishment of the joint innovation strategy of the two federal states – innoBB 2025 – the competition for the innovation awards focuses increasingly on the clusters and cross-cutting topics defined by the strategy, but also addresses a wide spectrum of committed innovators in order to stimulate the most diverse development potential possible.

One core idea behind the Innovation Award is that the innovations of today are the jobs of tomorrow. As an instrument of economic development, it is the competition’s goal to showcase the economic relevance of future industries for the regional competitiveness of the capital region.
