OPAL among the winners of MEXI 2016!

On Monday November 16 , the Mannheimer Existenxgründungspreis (MEXI) 2016 has been awarded. MEXI awards the most innovative and successful Mannheim ventures in three categories: Technology, Creativity and Service. 

The winners in 2015 that will carry the MEXI 2016 award are: 

  1. OPAL - Operational Analytics GmbH (Technology)
  2. Carrus Cultus GmbH (or HERRENFAHRT Creativity)
  3. CONIAS Risk Intelligence GmbH (Service)

We congratulate all the winners and participants to their achievements and are especially proud that MCEI startup OPAL (our SOTM January) recieved one of the distinguished awards. OPAL has been supported by the MCEI with dedicated startup consulting, their succesful application for the EXIST program and started in the MCEI Accelerator Office Space free of charge. Another important part of our MCEI support was a comprehensive Inside the Venture consulting project in cooperation with INTEGRA that helped OPAL to further develop their business model. 

The prize money of 10.000 EUR will grant OPAL the opportunity to further develop their product and business operations. Being the third award in 2015 alone (after the IKT Innovativ Founder Prize at CeBit and the HANA Innovation Awards) OPAL has proven its high potential and convincing business idea.
