    We want to be precise about the distinction: we received an award for outstanding entrepreneurship. This is not the same as being named Germany’s best network. Our trophy carries the name Maluure GmbH and the entrepreneurship award designation.

    Behind the scenes: our evening at the Flora

    The illuminated façade and sparks outside, the photo wall inside and finally the red trophy: these photographs show the evening from our perspective. The smaller moments belong here too, from a photo together to the award resting on the table.
