WOT spin-off CMMC GmbH receives Innovation Award from SME association THE GROW

At the annual closing meeting of THE GROW ENTREPRENEURS CLUB on 9 December 2022 in Munich, CMMC GmbH received a high distinction with the „Award for Innovative Startups“. CMMC GmbH was founded at the beginning of 2021 out of the WOT professorship as part of an EXIST research transfer project. Since April 2022, it has been standing completely on its own two feet - and with visible success!

CMMC GmbH develops AMC materials of different compositions for industrial applications. AMC are mostly particle-reinforced aluminium-based composite materials that expand the lightweight character of aluminium with high-strength and highly wear-resistant ceramic particles to create an alternative to steels or cast iron materials, for example. To this end, the company uses a novel and patented manufacturing process that makes it possible to provide AMC materials in industrially relevant quantities. The aim of CMMC GmbH is to use this method to move AMC from its niche existence to widespread use.

This goal and the approach taken to achieve it attracted the interest of THE GROW. The entrepreneurial network was founded in May 2021 by entrepreneurs from eleven family businesses. Together with start-ups and young founders, the network wants to do good for SMEs in the DACH region and Europe and combine it with successful innovation management. The networking of entrepreneurs with start-ups is intended to create a combination of innovation and experience that strengthens the economy.
