Award ceremony on October 18 in Karlsruhe
Instead of hitting the headlines, good ideas often disappear down a dark hole, never quite making it as an example of novel, successful projects. To do something about this, every year the Seifriz Award, the transfer prize aimed at German skilled trades and science, honors successful collaboration between companies involved in the skilled manual trades on the one hand, and scientists on the other. The aim is to give recognition to jointly developed innovative solutions and market-ready developments. The public award ceremony will take place on October 18 in the House of Living Labs at the FZI IT research center in Karlsruhe.
The main theme of the event, which will take place in the evening, will be knowledge transfer and anyone from the manual trades, small crafts, or related fields with interest in changing the world is welcome. The event kicks off with the bestowal of the € 25,000 Seifriz Award, providing inspiration and insights into a variety of amazing solutions that were uncovered again this year from all the collaborative projects carried out between firms in the manual trades and research institutions. Afterwards, there will be a chance for the visitors and experts from science and business to take part in three digital pilot forums, which will focus on groundbreaking topics related to digital business models, cloud solutions, and digital communication. Who knows, maybe somewhere among the participants will be a future award-winner who will turn a small idea into something big one day.
We’re looking forward to greeting everyone at the House of Living Labs and meeting you at the FZI in Karlsruhe!
