It is ‘only’ a laudatory mention and yet so much more. On April 7, one of our audio biographers (Stefanie Wittgenstein, 2nd from left), representing Familienhörbuch gGmbH, received an honorable mention at the award ceremony of the Female Founders Award of American Chamber of Commerce in Germany e.V. in Berlin.

The call for such a prize alone highlights the importance of women in leadership. The fact that our founder was allowed to be among the finalists honors her work. The invitation to the event expanded our very personal network and offered exciting insights into a wide variety of areas.

Congratulations to this year's winners Maria Birlem (Co-Founder & CEO, Yuri GmbH) and Julia Römer (Co-Founder & CEO, Coolar UG). Both are committed to advancing environmentally friendly alternatives in the biotechnology and energy technology industries.
