querdenker engineering named a TOP innovator 2025

querdenker engineering GmbH was recognised on its very first application as one of Germany's most innovative medium-sized companies, and may now carry the TOP 100 seal for 2025. The award rests on a scientific selection process led by the innovation researcher Professor Nikolaus Franke.

That process was developed by Professor Franke of the Vienna University of Economics and Business and is carried out by his team every year. More than 100 criteria in five categories go into the analysis, which looks closely at whether a company's innovations are the result of a structured process. The criteria can be read at www.top100.de/pruefkriterien.

In this year's competition, 262 of 364 applicants received the TOP 100 seal for 2025, awarded in three size categories: up to 50 employees, 51 to 200, and more than 200. At most 100 companies are recognised per category. querdenker engineering is one of the winners in size class A, up to 50 employees.

The award ceremony takes place on 27 June 2025 at the German Mittelstand Summit in the Rheingoldhalle in Mainz, where the long-standing mentor Ranga Yogeshwar will congratulate all the winners and present the certificates in person.
