Winning the 2019 German President’s Award
From Jerome Geyer-Klingeberg, Head of Academic Alliance
In November 2019, Celonis won the German President’s Award - marking the first time in history that a company was nominated and honored in “software and algorithm-based innovation.” After a year-long rigorous and technical application process, we made it to the final round. During the nomination period, we designed our own campaign and asked every Celonaut how they would imagine a #frictionlessfuture with Celonis. They shared amazing stories, designed new apps, and thought of new visions and ideas for our contribution to society.
The night of the award show, over 100 Celonauts gathered for a viewing party in our Munich office. The founders, our project team, and a few of our first Celonauts and customers were at the live event with the German President in Berlin. The energy felt like watching a football championship and winning was a truly historic moment for Celonis. After we won, the jury praised our commitment and innovative spirit of our team.
Now, Celonis is showcased in a special exhibition at the German Museum of Technology in Munich. When asked what the founders wanted to do with the award money, the answer was simple: give back to society, acknowledge and appreciate their own roots, and create future value. So, we launched the global Celonis Aspire program to support equal access to education. Learn more

Technology for Good: COVID-19 Response
From Bertram Lutz, the Head of Solution Engineering, UK and Ireland
At the early onset of the global pandemic, my team and I kept hearing the same thing from our customers: “We are struggling to function as a business right now. Our supply chain is in upheaval.” I thought - this is not just affecting Celonis but majorly impacting our customers.
But we can help with our technology. That night, putting my solution engineering skills into play and using our demo environment, I built an analysis that speaks to the problems our customers are having - drilling down on supply chain reliability. The next day, I shared the recorded demo with my team, a handful of BDRs, sales reps, and solution engineers, and it went viral internally.
In less than a week, an entire team of Celonauts came together to design apps, build additional use cases and demos, and create useful content to launch our COVID-19 Customer Care Program. We rolled out three free apps for our customers and non-profits focused on what’s most critical - Cash Preservation and Supply Chain Reliability. Our response to COVID-19 was an opportunity to leverage our technology for good in a time businesses need it most.
