From creative developments to real success stories
Innovation as a vision
With the Münsterland Innovation Award, we honour forward-looking, clever and sustainable projects. Because the intelligent and far-sighted work of companies from the region has a significant influence on the well-being of people, animals and nature. Only with the courage for creative inventions and new developments do we improve work processes and pave the way for a more environmentally conscious future.
And we think that needs to be encouraged: Once again this year, Münsterland companies, institutes, working groups or legal entities can submit their innovative projects in five different categories. A renowned, independent jury will select the respective winners from all the submissions and thus turn creative developments into real success stories.
