German Founder Award 2022

“Electrification is an important topic for society as a whole. This is exactly what the German Start-up Award 2022 for Additive Drives shows.” – Dr Jakob Jung

Additive Drives has been placed in the top 3 of the German Founder’s Prize 2022. Sponsored by Porsche AG, stern, ZDF and Sparkasse, the German Founder’s Prize is the most prestigious award for young companies in Germany and honours start-ups with particularly innovative business ideas.

Additive Drives accelerates the mobility change with 3D printed electric motors that can be individually manufactured within a very short time. The founders, Dr. Jakob Jung, Axel Helm and Philipp Arnold, are particularly focused on simplifying electrification. The mission is clear: to become the first one-stop shop for electric motors.

Additive Drives now has 50 employees and students, and the trend is rising.
