TOP 100 Award: Ranga Yogeshwar Honors sera for Innovation Excellence

At the German SME Summit held on Friday, June 27, in Mainz, science journalist Ranga Yogeshwar congratulated sera GmbH from Immenhausen on being awarded the prestigious TOP 100 seal. The award ceremony honored all medium-sized companies that received the TOP 100 designation earlier this year. Yogeshwar serves as a mentor for the innovation competition, now in its 32nd edition.

In the scientific selection process, sera stood out in Size Category C (more than 200 employees), particularly in the category “External Orientation / Open Innovation.” This marks the third time that sera has been named one of Germany’s Top Innovators.

Awarded for Innovation Power and Future Orientation

The sera Group impressed the innovation competition jury across all five evaluation categories:
– Innovation-friendly top management
– Innovation climate
– Innovative processes and organization
– External orientation/open innovation
– Innovation success

“The renewed recognition as a TOP 100 Innovator is a great honor for us and a clear confirmation of our ongoing efforts in research and development,” says Carsten Rahier, President and Executive Chair of the sera Group. “Innovation is a core part of our corporate culture and the key to our success.”

A special focus of the sera Group lies in the development of innovative solutions in hydrogen technology. “Hydrogen is a key energy carrier of the future, and we see great potential in this market,” Rahier explains. “We are proud to contribute to the energy transition with our products and services.”

The jury also highlighted sera’s commitment to fostering young talent. Students write their theses at sera, participate in development projects, and take on responsibility — for example, through trainee-led initiatives or the annual “sera Social Day” for children and youth. With an apprenticeship rate of over 12%, sera is well above the industry average. After all, innovation thrives on fresh ideas.

TOP 100 Seal as Motivation for the Future

Being named a TOP 100 Innovator is both a motivation and a commitment for the sera Group. “We will continue to dedicate ourselves to developing innovative and future-ready solutions,” Rahier emphasizes. “Our goal is to remain among the leading companies in our markets.”
