Preis des Bundespräsidenten
für Technik und Innovation

Nominees

The nomination for the Deutscher Zukunftspreis is a great honor for the respective project and teams. The team capable of convincing the high-caliber jury and that makes it into the "league of the best" represents some of Germany’s most innovative minds. Year after year the nominees for the Deutscher Zukunftspreis demonstrate the range of innovation in Germany. It is sometimes the achievements of an individual, sometimes of a group, sometimes the idea for a project is sparked in a research facility, sometimes by a company - but it’s always about exciting, trend-setting projects!
