Stuttgart, September 7, 2023 - How easy it is to promote biodiversity with creative methods, how teachers can be supported in teaching media skills in an uncomplicated and playful way, or how to work more efficiently on a film set through digitization - the IDEENSTARK 2023 winning teams impress with cross-innovative concepts. Each year, the state and MFG Baden-Württemberg honor ten companies from the cultural and creative industries in Baden-Württemberg with the award. The competition is supported by the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts and the Ministry of Economics, Labor and Tourism Baden-Württemberg.

The award ceremony will take place as part of the Future Conference: Time for Innovation on November 15 at 7 p.m. at the Wizemann in Stuttgart.
"IDEENSTARKEN 2023 is an excellent example of how innovative and interdisciplinary projects can drive society and promote viable, sustainable developments," says Arne Braun, State Secretary at the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts. "The funding program supports creative professionals in their entrepreneurial and personal development." "The award recognizes creative professionals who want to go their own way economically and also inspire other industries with their ideas. They make an important contribution to the innovative strength of our state," emphasizes Patrick Rapp, State Secretary in the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economics, Labor and Tourism.
