AMA Innovation Award 2024 announced

Individuals and development teams with research and development solutions in sensor and measurement technology with recognizable market relevance - i.e. real innovation and not pure invention - can apply for the AMA Innovation Award 2024. The AMA Innovation Award is endowed with prize money of 10,000 euros. In addition, new and young companies can apply for the special 'Young Company' award. The conditions for this are that the company has not been on the market for more than five years, has fewer than 50 employees and generates an annual turnover of less than 10 million euros. The winner in this special category will receive a free exhibition stand at the Sensor + Test 2024 trade fair. "Apply with your new ideas in sensor and measurement technology and present them to a broad, international audience of experts at Sensor + Test 2024," says jury chairman Andreas Schütze from Saarland University. "Surprise us with your innovative developments. Whether established companies or start-ups, national or international, individual developers or project teams, we are very excited about the innovative dynamics of our industry."

The prestigious AMA Innovation Award has been presented for 24 years. The special thing about it is that the developers and development teams are honored for their achievements and not the companies or institutions behind them. The jury is made up of experts from universities, research institutes and industry. They examine in particular the scientific achievement, the degree of innovation of the development, but also the expected market opportunities. The closing date for entries is January 25, 2024, and the nominations and winners of the special prize will be announced at the AMA press conference on March 6, 2024. The winners of the AMA Innovation Award 2024 will be presented at the opening ceremony of Sensor + Test 2024 on June 11, 2024 in Nuremberg, where the nominated teams will exhibit their innovations.
