Burgenland's creative minds honored: QBDC wins Innovation Prize 2025!
In Oslip, at the 31st Burgenland Innovation Award ceremony on Wednesday evening, the state's most creative minds were honored in the Cselley Mill. QBDC GmbH from Neutal was convincing among the 34 submissions and secured the main prize. The prize is awarded by the Burgenland Business Agency and the Burgenland Chamber of Commerce and honors outstanding projects in several categories.
Particularly noteworthy is the innovation of QBDC GmbH, which was launched in 2022 by Monika Brazda and Karlheinz Landauer. The company simplifies the drug development process with the digital system “Eddi,” which allows DNA sequences to be tested virtually – comparable to a flight simulator. This method promises faster and more cost-effective drug development and made the main prize winner not only a hope for the industry, but also a beacon for innovation in Burgenland. For their achievement, QBDC GmbH received prize money of 7,000 euros, donated by Bank Burgenland. The company is also nominated for the State Innovation Prize and the special “Econovius” prize.
