Hanover Fair 2019
Winner of the 'Hermes Award 2019' chosen
The start-up NanoWired has won the 'Hermes Award 2019'. It received the 100,000 euro industry prize for its innovative 'KlettWelding' connection technology, which allows electrical components to be easily joined together at room temperature.

The independent jury praised the solution as an "outstanding innovation with a wide range of applications".
"In the Hermes Award, with its numerous outstanding entries, the decisive factors for the winning project are the forward-looking innovative character, a product solution approach that is as target group-oriented as possible and the industrial testing of new technology," says jury chairman and Fraunhofer President Prof. Reimund Neugebauer. With regard to NanoWired's solution, he says: "We are looking at a globally new process that offers a wide range of potential applications in the sensor, semiconductor, automotive and consumer goods market segments, for example. Particularly for temperature-free connections, production processes could be switched from soldering to plugging in the future. The process presented is also more cost-effective than soldering and bonding and is already being used successfully in almost twenty industrial projects."
The award-winning and nominated products and processes can be seen at the companies' stands during the Hannover Messe 2019.
