Every year, the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy awards the "Digital Start-up of the Year" prize to promising young digital companies from the BMWi's start-up initiatives that are already established on the market. The award honors start-ups that have been particularly successful in implementing their start-up ideas in a short period of time. The prize winners are supported in the further development of their companies by prize money totaling EUR 110,000 and a public award ceremony. Elisabeth Winkelmeier-Becker, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy, will present the awards on September 4, 2020 at the Innovation Engine.
