Regenstauf, September 22, 2025 - The innovation magazine FOCUS-Business has named Innok Robotics Leading Innovator 2026.
We are thus officially one of the 425 most innovative companies in Germany. Particularly noteworthy: Innok Robotics achieved the highest score in all evaluated categories.
The award is based on a comprehensive analysis of companies based in Germany that employ at least five people and have a demonstrable connection to the topic of innovation. The companies were assessed in the dimensions of strategy and innovation culture, products and services, processes and business model. Only companies that scored at least 7 out of 15 points were included in the list - Innok Robotics achieved full marks in all categories.
Only the organizational structure category could not be included due to the company's size of around 40 employees.
Alwin Heerklotz, Founder, CEO & CTO of Innok Robotics, explains:
"This award is a great success for our entire team. It shows that we are leading the way with our innovative spirit and our consistent work on pioneering robotics solutions. Our autonomous mobile robots and our innovative proprietary software platform Innok Cockpit help customers in a wide range of industries to make processes more efficient, more sustainable and safer - and it is precisely this claim that has now been honored at national level."
The methodology of the study is based on a multi-stage process: First, suitable companies were identified via web research and analysis and then invited to take part in a detailed online survey. The evaluation was supplemented by quality checks and recommendations from the previous year.
With the award as Leading Innovator 2026, FOCUS-Business confirms Innok Robotics' special role as a driver of innovation in the robotics industry.
