Hannover Messe Digital Days
VDMA Startup Award goes to virtual reality solution
As part of the Hannover Messe Digital Days, the VDMA awarded a start-up prize to a young company with the greatest potential for mechanical engineering. The prize goes to the company CMC Engineers.
With the "Startup Speed Pitch" competition, Hannover Messe created an exchange format at this year's Digital Days in which promising tech startups came into contact with more than 10,000 interested trade visitors from the global industry scene. Six young companies and their transformative start-up solutions were able to prevail against more than fifty other applicants in this competition. The finalists who were given the opportunity to present on the digital stage were BAM, Tacterion, QuizCo, CMC Engineers, talpasolutions and RSConnect. They competed against each other in a 3-minute pitch. The young company BAM won the audience award - and thus a stand at Hannover Messe 2021.
As a further highlight, the VDMA awarded a start-up prize to the young company with the greatest potential for mechanical engineering. VDMA Startup-Machine chose a young company as the winner that addresses the current challenges facing the industry due to coronavirus-related contact restrictions and is driving forward the industrial transformation in mechanical engineering with a promising technical solution.
With 'CMC ViewR', the start-up CMC Engineers offers a virtual reality solution for the challenges of medium-sized mechanical and plant engineering companies. With this software, manufacturing companies can easily visualize 3D data in order to develop, plan and present products collaboratively and from any location in virtual teams.
