Researchers, start-ups and companies with innovative cybersecurity solutions can still apply for the IT Security Award until January 15, 2026. The Horst Gรถtz Foundation is presenting the award for the eleventh time in 2026. The solution that is particularly suitable for implementation in practice and at the same time strengthens Germany’s innovative power and digital sovereignty will receive prize money of 100,000 euros. The second and third place winners will receive 20,000 euros and 10,000 euros respectively. The award ceremony will take place on November 5, 2026 as part of the 4th Cybersecurity Innovation Conference of the Ruhr University Bochum and the digital association Bitkom in Bochum.
Individuals as well as research institutions and companies based in Germany can apply with a brief description of their solution. An independent jury will select ten projects that are particularly convincing in the three criteria of “innovativeness”, “benefits” and “real market opportunities” for a second round with a detailed presentation.
