Cebit Innovation Award 2017
IT developments in the spotlight
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research and Deutsche Messe AG have presented the Cebit Innovation Award, worth a total of 100,000 euros. The award went to outstanding innovative and application-oriented IT developments.
At the award ceremony at Cebit in Hanover, Federal Research Minister Prof. Dr. Johanna Wanka underlined the creativity of young researchers in Germany: "The winners of the Cebit Innovation Award presented projects and applications from a wide variety of everyday contexts, but they all have one thing in common: that our everyday activities are now accompanied and facilitated by innovative IT applications as a matter of course."
Deutsche Messe AG has been a co-initiator of the Cebit Innovation Award since 2013, the year it was first presented. As one of the world's leading trade fairs on issues relating to the digitalization of business, administration and society, Cebit has been building bridges for young IT talents on their way to market maturity with the award for half a decade. "What began five years ago as an innovative prize for young German IT professionals has since developed into a showcase for application-oriented innovations from universities, laboratories and start-ups," says Oliver Frese, Member of the Deutsche Messe Board of Management. The Cebit Innovation Award offers participants a stage for marketing their own ideas. A stage that is also set for the coming year, as the call for entries for the Cebit Innovation Award 2018 will begin on March 20, 2017. The deadline for applications is June 15, 2017.
