First Place in the SH Digitalization Award 2025
Yesterday, on November 5, 2025, we had the honor of receiving this year’s Digitalization Award of the State of Schleswig-Holstein from Minister of Digitalization Dirk Schrödter at the Kiel Science Park. One day later, we are still overwhelmed. Such an award is not just a worthless trophy for young companies, but an important source of encouragement. Because founding a company and working for such a startup also entails setbacks. It requires immense courage and perseverance from all involved until the first successes materialize. And first place in such a significant competition is definitely a huge success for us.
The state government has been awarding the Digitalization Award annually since 2018, aiming to honor those who contribute to the digitalization of our state.
Schleswig-Holstein is on its way to digital independence, and once again, last night highlighted the importance of this independence. Achieving the grand goal of digital sovereignty requires innovative ideas and courageous founders. However, it also requires a secure network and support from politics and business.
With our chatbot KOSMO, we are declaring a David vs. Goliath battle against the tech giants, as described by our company founder Tadeusz. And this award clearly shows us that this battle is far from hopeless and that we are on the right track.
Of course, there are also other great and motivated teams from the region who are advancing digitalization with their innovative spirit. For example, Sachtleben Technology, which is revolutionizing the volume monitoring of bulk materials with its Owl Eye. Or the VJourney team, which enables virtual travel for people who can no longer travel themselves.
The atmosphere surrounding the event was magnificent and provided a fantastic setting for many interesting discussions. We thank everyone involved!
