What is the TOP 100 Innovator Award

The TOP 100 Innovator Award is one of the most prestigious recognitions for innovation in the German Mittelstand. For over 25 years, companies that demonstrate exceptional enthusiasm for innovation and future viability have been honoured. As part of a scientific selection process, an independent jury evaluates innovative processes, corporate culture, successful innovations, and sustainable developments.

Recognising pioneers of what matters tomorrow

Cumdente and ApaCare are among the companies that identify early on which developments will be crucial for medicine and dentistry in the future – and consistently translate them into solutions.

This includes, among other things:

  • specialised AI applications for dentistry that go far beyond general AI systems and integrate clinical expertise,
  • the targeted utilisation of new scientific findings on the significance of the oral microbiome,
  • as well as the transfer of complex medical contexts into everyday products (ApaCare, OraLactin and PowerPulse).

Thought from the mouth. Developed for the body. 

Science and clinical research increasingly demonstrate that the oral microbiome is not only relevant for teeth and gums but also linked to metabolism, circulation, performance, and long-term health

Cumdente and ApaCare leverage these natural, highly intelligent regulatory mechanisms to develop concepts, preventive products, and functional supplements that support health in everyday life – proactively, understandably, and easily usable.

Innovation with Societal Benefit 

Everyone knows: sugar, traditional sweets, and empty calories harm health – yet they are consumed daily. 

Our response to this is intelligent alternatives: products that combine enjoyment with purpose and contribute to what the body truly needs in everyday life – for the mouth, microbiome, and body. 

The TOP 100 Innovator Award confirms this approach: 

Innovation that takes responsibility.
Technology that serves people.
Medicine that fits into everyday life.
