Münsterland Innovation Award: The Sponsors

Making the region fit for the future with innovations.

"The Innovation Award is not only a win for the winning company, but also for the entire region. After all, after more than 30 years of competition, the Münsterland's business card shows a great deal of creative potential: with their innovative products, entrepreneurs are proving time and again how future-proof this region is. We are particularly proud of the fact that the savings banks, as partners of SMEs, are able to support a large number of creative minds from business start-ups to international business."

Klaus Richter
Chairman of the district working group of the Münsterland savings banks

Innovation and regionality for a strong Münsterland.

"As a leading regional insurer, Provinzial has been firmly rooted in Münsterland for centuries. It is important to us to promote the innovative strength and growth of our home region. The innovation awards of the last few years prove it: There is an incredible amount of potential here."

Dr. Wolfgang Breuer
Chairman of the Board
Provinzial Versicherung AG

"Innovations are urgently needed. They are the engine of the economy, the starting point for economic success and often also the driver for a rethink and a change of direction. As a company rooted in the Münsterland region, Westenergie supports the Innovation Award so that these pioneering projects can be given a platform, become visible and increase their impact in society."

"Our mission is to make Münster greener and even more liveable. To this end, we are implementing the energy transition here on site, driving forward the mobility transition and bringing digitalisation to life. Without us, the city would stand still and remain dark. To prevent this from happening, 1,400 colleagues from our Münster team work hand in hand every day. And just as important is the collaboration with the many companies in Münster, the Münsterland region and Westphalia that provide us with impetus and challenge our creativity. After all, it is our ability to innovate that has made us an integral part of Münster since 1901. For us, these are the best reasons to support the Innovation Award and motivate applicants to keep reinventing themselves."
