Video: More Light, More Flexibility, Less Fuel
The winning team of the German Future Prize, the Federal President's Prize for Technology and Innovation, is waving 250,000 euros. It is intended to honor projects that, based on research, lead to products that are ready for application and thus marketable. The award is the most important scientific award in Germany. It is intended to raise public awareness of the scientific and technical development potential available in Germany and to emphasize the importance of close cooperation between science, business and politics for Germany's future viability. This year, research and development projects from Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Saxony are nominated. Joachim Gauck will select the winner on November 30, 2016 at Bellevue Palace.
