Every year, RWTH Aachen University honors particularly innovative ideas emerging from the university’s environment. The Innovation Award is given to inventors and researchers with innovative ideas and technologies, while the Spin-off Awardhonors founded startups. The winners can officially present themselves with this award, which is gaining more and more importance beyond the borders of Aachen.
Innovation Award
RWTH Aachen's vision is to develop a unique innovation ecosystem that provides societal value. The Innovation Award recognizes individuals actively contributing to this vision, advancing from ideas to innovative solutions. These solutions can include technologies, processes, products, inventions, or software.
The Spin-off Award is the only official award for outstanding spin-offs at RWTH Aachen University. With this award, we give our spin-offs the opportunity to advertise with reference to RWTH Aachen University and thus to successfully start into the time after the foundation. The application is open to all spin-offs from RWTH Aachen University that are already formally founded at the time of application. At the same time, the year of foundation may not be more than two years ago. The award winners will be listed on the RWTH Aachen University website, making them easy to find, for example, for potential business partners.
