Our participation in the Philips Innovation award (PHIA)

Unser Stand auf dem PHIA-Award
Our booth at the PHIA Award

Participation in the Philips Innovation Award was very interesting and instructive for us. We made it to the last round, but unfortunately our project is running too long to make it to the finals.


As part of the Philips Innovation Awards this time, more than 370 startups competed in the annual innovation competition for prizes worth € 50,000. We were looking for future-oriented and innovative technologies and products for a better future. The aquaponik manufaktur convinced with its sustainable and efficient aquaponics systems and the 80-strong business panel made up of experienced jurors selected us into the semi-finals. In the end, it was not enough for the overall victory, because the duration of our project was much longer than the other projects. Nevertheless, in addition to the established contacts, the overwhelmingly positive feedback from visitors and jurors was a very special motivation to work even more intensively on the implementation of our aquaponic facilities.
