Staex wins the Deep Tech Award 2021

2021-06-17

Deep Tech Award is aimed to distinguish the most outstanding deep tech solutions.

On the 16th of June, Staex was honored with the Deep Tech Award 2021 by the Berlin Senate in recognition of remarkable deep tech innovations in the area of IoT and Industry 4.0.

One winner in each of five total categories was selected from more than 70 applications. Developing innovative and marketable products and deep tech solutions that provide support during the crisis and also offer a social and sustainable contribution to urban society - was the key to winning the Deep Tech Award 2021.

The jury is highly convinced that distributed technologies of our IT and IoT infrastructures, and the economic models that are based upon them, will be completely changed. I think that we will see billions of connected devices with more and more intelligence, more and more storage capacity, more and more computational capacity, and not using these resources would be a shame.

We have very complex tasks ahead of us, but with such great support, I believe we are well equipped.
