Fundermax has been nominated for the IFP 2025!
The Innovation and Research Prize (IFP) of the State of Carinthia is the most prestigious recognition for outstanding achievements in the fields of innovation and research. It is awarded annually by the Carinthian Economic Development Fund (KWF) and honours companies and research institutions that break new ground with creative ideas and visionary thinking.

Degradable tree protection covers nominated
The nominees were announced for the first time this year at a nomination party at MAKERSPACE Carinthia. Fundermax was also among the selected companies: the company was nominated in the ‘Large Enterprises’ category for its innovative, biodegradable tree protection covers. This recognition is a success for our entire team – because without creative ideas and committed collaboration, such innovations would not be possible.

Sustainable innovation ‘Made in Carinthia’
The environmentally friendly biofibre panels from Fundermax offer an innovative solution for forestry. The tree protection covers ensure optimal protection for young trees – without any additives. Made from 99% wood, they are a sustainable and harmless choice for use in nature.
In this blog post, you can learn more about our tree protection covers.
The award ceremony will take place on 29 April 2025 at the Lakeside Science & Technology Park. Until then, the nominees will be presented on the social media channels of the Carinthian Economic Development Fund (KWF).
