Immense importance for the region
Economics Minister Daniel Keller (SPD) emphasized the importance of these innovative projects during the award ceremony. He emphasized that these applications not only represent added value for the Brandenburg economy, but also make a decisive contribution to environmental protection. The innovation award recognizes annual product, process or service innovations and is a clear indicator of the innovative strength of the Brandenburg economy.
These awards are particularly important because they not only strengthen innovative strength, but also promote interest in sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions. This is done through funding across cluster boundaries in order to intensify cooperation between small, medium and large companies as well as scientific institutions, as shown on mwaek.brandenburg.de can be read.
