Top 100B+T Group is one of the 100 most innovative companies in the SME sector

The B+T Group has been honoured in the Germany-wide TOP 100 competition for its innovative strength and innovation success. With the inclusion in the 100 most innovative companies in the SME sector, the jury not only recognises individual products, but also takes a close look at all stages of the innovation process.

The competition is based on a scientific selection process. On behalf of compamedia, the organiser of the comparison, innovation researcher Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke from the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration and his team examined the companies on the basis of more than 100 criteria from five categories: Top Management Promoting Innovation, Innovation Climate, Innovative Processes and Organisation, External Orientation/Open Innovation and Innovation Success. Of particular importance is whether a company’s innovations are just a random product or are systematically planned and thus repeatable in the future.

“We are very pleased to have been awarded in this particular competition after the intensive examination,” says Ralf Bohn, Managing Director of the family-owned company. “This encourages us to ensure a greener tomorrow with state-of-the-art technologies, short transport routes and a flexible Europe-wide network,” adds Bohn.

On 23 June, all the top innovators of 2023 will come together in Augsburg for the award ceremony at the German SME Summit. There, Ranga Yogeshwar will personally congratulate them on their success at TOP 100.
