Talents
The newcomers: these award winners may be relatively fresh out of college, but they have still managed to register a large number of inventions in just a few years at Siemens. Their enthusiasm for technology, their creativity and their determination have earned them great respect and recognition from professional experts.
Category 2
Open Innovation
The crossover experts: like all inventors, they like to think outside the box. And they go even further by constantly changing their perspective. As highly motivated technicians, they know which technologies have what it takes to succeed. What’s more, the award winners are not from Siemens, but include people from universities or start-ups who have worked closely with Siemens and thus personify our open innovation strategy.
Category 3
Outstanding Invention
Game changers make their mark with exceptional inventions. The award winner has set standards in his/her particular field of technology with their inventions. A technically significant invention or the enhancement of an existing product has resulted in business success, or an new approach has helped solve a social problem or improve living conditions. The award winner will have met one of these criteria.
