TOP 100 award: congratulations from Ranga Yogeshwar

On 27 June 2025, querdenker engineering was recognised at the German Mittelstand Summit in Mainz as one of the most innovative medium-sized companies in Germany. It was the company's first application for the TOP 100 innovation award, and it won straight away in size class A, for companies with up to 50 employees.

Ranga Yogeshwar, science journalist and mentor of the competition, congratulated the team and presented the award in person to Florian Seibold and Jenne Hilberts of querdenker engineering.

The jury's official statement reads: "In the scientific selection process, querdenker engineering stood out in particular in the category of external orientation and open innovation. The company combines tailored approaches with innovative technologies for a well-thought-out user experience, so that products remain reliable and easy to understand."

We are delighted with the award. For us it is both confirmation and encouragement to keep developing hardware, software and systems as one and to expand that work.
