MENTOR is among the TOP 100 of Germany’s most innovative SMEs once again in 2020
The prestigious competition TOP 100 has been recognising the most innovative companies among Germany’s SMEs for the past 27 years. We are once again one of the winning companies this year. In the independent selection process, MENTOR was particularly impressive in the “Innovation Success” and “Outward Looking/Open Innovation” categories
Last year we took part in this competition for the first time and joined the ranks of the innovative elite right away. We planned to confirm and repeat our success this year too. We are very pleased that we have succeeded and once again beaten the stiff competition. Prior to this, we participated in a demanding scientific selection process, led by innovation researcher Prof. Dr Nikolaus Franke, that assessed our company’s innovation management and success.

“The employees’ wide range of knowledge and vast experience form the basis of this development process and are a unique aspect of the company.“
