The Initiative Mittelstand's prestigious Innovation Prize-IT has, since 2004, supported innovation in the IT sector that meets or aids the requirements of Germany's small and medium sized companies. The prize's patron this year is the Lower Saxony Ministry for Economy, Work, and Transport. IT and its application play a major role in the daily interactions between the Ministry and the companies operating within its state jurisdiction. Since IT applications enable an ever improved reciprocal communication, its significance for the competitiveness of a company becomes ever clearer, especially when it comes to the precision balancing of supply and demand. Particularly for small and medium-sized firms, tailor-made IT-solutions create an exceptional tool for binding customers closer to the company, for optimizing business processes, and identifying and increasing the potential for rationalization. Its for this reason that the Lower Saxony Ministry sponsors the preeminent competition that is the INNOVATION PRIZE-IT 2013 .
