The productronica Fast Forward Competition

The short and firm byline of this year’s productronica trade exhibition in Munich is “Accelerating Innovation”, so apart from the Bierstuben there’s no better place to go than the Elektor / productronica 2019 Fast Forward Award (FFA, Hall B2 Booth 472) event. Start-ups are true innovators, explorer, out-of-the-box thinkers, disrupters … whatever you call them, the ones you can meet and interview at the 2019 FFA show floor are the best of the crop. All passed a lengthy selection process and are now ready to pitch their innovations and enthusiasm to the ever critical productronica audience, a three-headed monster called The Jury, and the odd camera. FFA is part of the fantastic Accelerating Talents platform organized by Messe München, which Elektor is grateful to exploit for putting eight fantastic start-ups in the spotlight.
