For the fourth time already, the “Prof. Detlev Müller startup prize” was awarded. Prof. Detlev Müller – company owner of prostartup, Sven Wähner – key account manager engineering/ automotive at IMM electronics GmbH as well as Prof. Dr. André Streek and Madlen Rabe of MOEWE Solutions GmbH were linked live to the organizers and guests of the founder regulars at ITZ. The “high-tech startup” MOEWE Solutions GmbH was able to convince with its laser competence. Director Prof. Dr. André Streek surprised everyone attending, by doubling the 1000 EUR prize money and pledged to donate it to Erucula e.V., a Mittweida club, that wants to invest the money in its recreational vehicle “Freizeit-Franz”.

In December 2018, MOEWE joined the Laserinstitut Mittelsachsen e.V. a network of laser specialists. All notable manufacturers of laser systems are part of this society.
