Karlsruhe – November 22, 2023

On November 15, 2023, INIT received the GLOBAL 2023 foreign trade award of the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion in Baden-Baden. The Karlsruhe Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) and TechnologieRegion Karlsruhe GmbH present this joint award every two years to companies with outstanding international achievements.

In his welcoming address, IHK President Wolfgang Grenke emphasized that it is "innovative companies like INIT that successfully create international awareness for the region and act as ambassadors for the innovation and competitiveness of the regional economy.

Successful worldwide – at home in Karlsruhe

The INIT Group today operates in more than 30 locations around the world, but is still based in Karlsruhe. In 40 years of company history, it has developed very successfully from a spin-off of the University of Karlsruhe to a globally successful group of companies.

In particular, the guest of honour, Her Excellency Dr. Amy Gutmann, Ambassador of the USA to Germany, commended INIT's great success and strong market position in North America. She emphasized the importance of business as the basis for good international relations.

"The US is also of outstanding importance to INIT," emphasized CSO and deputy CEO Dr. Jürgen Greschner, who accepted the award on behalf of the INIT Group. With the founding of INIT's first foreign subsidiary in Chesapeake, Virginia/USA in 1999, he played a significant role in INIT’s internationalization of business, which he successfully drove forward as Chief Sales Officer since 2004. Today, North America is still the most important and most successful foreign market for the INIT Group, which now supports transportation companies in more than 70 countries.
