productronica Fast Forward Award for Start-ups: The Winners!
At productronica 2019, which has just come to an end, 8 start-ups competed in a neck-and-neck race for the coveted Fast Forward Award, organized by Messe München and Elektor. Here are the winners!
Following the two major successes at 'electronica', Messe München and Elektor presented the international Fast Forward Award for the first time this year at productronica, supported by sponsors Distrelec, Kurtz Ersa, Almit, Weller and Bernstein. At one of the world's most important trade fairs for electronics production, 8 start-ups competed in an exciting neck-and-neck race for the coveted marketing prizes worth a total of 45,000 euros.
The four-member jury (Clemens Valens from Elektor, Ruud Vertommen and Andreas Züger from Distrelec, Niclas Fritz from BatchOne) had a hard time agreeing on the winners after the short presentations of the eight young companies (followed by a round of questions).
On Friday, the last day of the fair, the decision was made in Munich:
1st prize (marketing budget worth 25,000 euros)
Touchless Automation GmbH
