You don't necessarily have to start inventing as a child to be very successful later on. Benno Weis (47) from Siemens Digital Factory in Erlangen first developed his enthusiasm for power electronics during his studies and later in his career. He was honored as "Inventor of the Year 2016" in the "Lifetime Achievement" category for his numerous inventions - such as for the control of high-frequency milling machines.
