This year, for the first time, an awards event was part of the programme of the summit. The Innovation Champion Awards were presented during the award ceremony at the Carmen W\u00fcrth Forum in K\u00fcnzelsau.<\/p>\n

While the first prize went to the Friedhelm Loh Stiftung & Co.

The award was presented to J\u00fcrgen Pfitzer and Helmut N\u00e4gele, both CEOs of Tecnaro, in recognition of the company\u2019s innovative biomaterials ARBOFORM, ARBOBLEND and ARBOFILL. These biocompounds represent an important contribution to the transition to more sustainable plastics developed for use in the post-oil era. They meet the requirements in terms of performance and properties for a wide range of applications.<\/p>\n

Pfitzer and N\u00e4gele were pleased and proud with the honour, calling it an
\n\u2018outstanding assessment\u2019 of their efforts of the past 20 years, to develop plant-based and almost CO2<\/sub>-neutral bioplastic materials of a quality that is equal to petroleum-based plastics. The third prize went to RUD Ketten Rieger & Dietz GmbH u. Co. KG.<\/p>\n

The prize was presented by the editor-in-chief Beat Balzli, Varinia Bernau and Kris-tin Rau of the Wirtschaftswoche, and by Dr. Walter D\u00f6ring, former Minister of Economics of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg and founder of the academy of world market leaders, which hosted the summit meeting in Schw\u00e4bisch Hall for the 10th time.<\/p>\n
