Plus X Award partners with the Hamburg consultancy Codu

After the successful launch of the founders' initiative “Innovations for today & tomorrow” in November 2016, the Plus X Award is expanding its project further. Last Tuesday in Hamburg, Plus X Award President Donat Brandt and the consultancy Codu, represented by founder and managing director Rayk Hahne, agreed a partnership to strengthen start-up support. “The Plus X Award and Codu are the perfect mix when it comes to innovation. As the world's largest innovation prize, the Plus X Award has stood as a symbol for innovative companies and products for 14 years now. Codu combines sport and entrepreneurial knowledge in online courses and thereby opens up a whole new era in entrepreneurial further education,” says Rayk Hahne, managing director and founder of Codu. The digital consulting concept Codu offers online courses in the form of podcasts and video contributions and combines sporting concepts and entrepreneurial wisdom for founders and entrepreneurs. Donat Brandt, President of the Plus X Award, is also pleased about the partnership, which begins with the official opening of entries for the Plus X Award Early Jury: “We are delighted to have won a further innovative partner for the Plus X Award in Codu. After the successful launch of our support programme ‘Innovations for today & tomorrow', we want to make taking part in the Plus X Award even more attractive for start-ups and founders through this partnership, and we look forward to Codu's input.” From 15 July 2017, all companies, manufacturers and brands are once again warmly invited to submit their innovative products and services to the world's largest innovation prize for technology, sport and lifestyle products. Present yourself to our jurors and, in the event of an award, benefit from the established seals of the Plus X Award.
