Prof. Dr. Robert Pelzel, professor for product management, project planning and quality management at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI), will be a jury member of the innovation competition "TOP 100" of the Compamedia company from March. Together with mentor and science journalist Ranga Yogeshwar, known among other things from the science programme "Quarks", the jury will select the most innovative small and medium-sized companies in Germany.
For over 25 years, the 30-member jury has been selecting the best companies from three size categories: Size class A comprises up to 50 employees, size class B measures 51 to 200 employees and size class C more than 200 employees. No individual innovations are evaluated, but the innovation management as a whole.
Prof. Dr. Pelzel will take his place on the jury alongside Prof. Dr. Hans-Jörg Bullinger, former President of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, and Dorothee Bär, Minister of State for Digital Affairs, among others.
