Waldenburg (Germany), May 12, 2023 – The renowned trade magazine, Chip, has awarded a prize to Germany's most innovative companies in 2023 on the basis of submitted patents and innovations on company websites. This year, for the first time, the prestigious prize went to the Würth Elektronik Group.

With its independent tests, the computer and technology magazine is an important medium for consumers and decision-makers. Together with its partner Globis, the Chip researches companies and institutions that advance the German economy with their innovations.

The study examined worldwide patent registrations in various sectors between 2020 and 2021, which included 17,400 initial patent registrations for comparison. Their quality is assessed via the so-called non-family forward citations; meaning the more often a patent is mentioned in the applications of other patents, the higher the innovation score. The companies' websites were also analyzed, where bonus points were awarded for the focus on innovations and their presentation.

In the Chip and Globis ranking, the Würth Elektronik Group is clearly ahead; awarded as the Digital Innovator 2023. The honor emphasizes the innovative strength of the Würth Elektronik Group in the electronics market, and is further incentive for continuous further development.
