HAMBURG – HHLA Sky has won the Deutscher Innovationspreis in the start-up category. WirtschaftsWoche, Accenture and EnBW joined forces to present the prestigious award for the 12th time on 25 June with the goal of recognising the forward-looking projects of German companies. The prize aims to promote “inventive spirits, forward, new and outside-the-box thinking, undiscovered geniuses, clever researchers and unique ideas”.
