Testbirds receives ‘Innovator of the Year’ award
Munich, 28 February 2018 – Testbirds is excited to announce that it has been named one of the most innovative companies in Germany, according to brand eins Wissen Magazine and Sta-tista. The ‘Innovator of the Year’ Awards, now in their fourth year, recognise organisations that are driving innovation, leadership and transformation in categories that are critical within their industries.
A panel of more than 23,000 people, including decision makers from large enterprises, represent-atives of innovative companies and experts in innovation and strategy, evaluated more than 2,000 companies operating in 20 industries. Testbirds’ ranking in the round of 542 winners of the award is already a great achievement, but breaking this further down to the size and industry categories, the testing experts appear as one of the 50 most innovative small enterprises in the category of Internet, Media & Communication. This is the second year in a row now that Testbirds are amongst the winners. However, this ceremony of innovation was not only a win for Testbirds, but also for Bavaria, which was rated the most innovative federal state in Germany and Testbirds’ home base, Munich, ranked second within the most innovative German cities.
Tobias Brunner, Testbirds’ Head of Marketing Communications, explains what the Award means to the company and points out the team effort that made this success possible: ‘This Award, where winners were voted for by a wide range of industry experts, gives us a clear indicator of Testbirds’ trusted reputation. We’re grateful to work with innovative organisations that believe in our vision and share our commitment to transforming the software testing industry. Also, congratulations to all those members of the Testbirds team who develop, promote and support the range of prod-ucts and services we provide.
