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 succeeded straight away in size class A, for companies with up to 50 employees.

The science journalist and mentor of the competition, Ranga Yogeshwar, offered his congratulations and presented the award in person to Florian Seibold and Jenne Hilberts of querdenker engineering.

The jury's statement reads: “In the scientific selection process, querdenker engineering was particularly convincing in the category of external orientation and open innovation. The company combines individual approaches with new technologies for a well-considered user experience — so that products stay reliable and easy to understand.”

We are delighted with the award. It is both confirmation and encouragement to keep developing hardware, software and systems together, and to build on that.
