In collaboration with UBS and Genilem the foundation awarded three outstanding product innovations of small and middle sized companies with the Product Award 2016.
Amberg Technologies was awarded for the cutting edge development of the Amberg IMS track sprinter.

This enables customers to measure with less resources and more efficiency of their work flows.
