What a special moment for our FIM alumni Flora Geske, Vanessa Theel, and Nicholas Wolf: Bavarian State Minister for Digital Affairs Judith Gerlach presented them with the Bavarian Digital Award 2023 for their startup SUMM. Congratulations! 👏
SUMM's daily efforts are being noticed, and that's important because more than 10 million people in Germany struggle with complicated texts. They can only find their way around online (and offline) if the information is accessible and presented in an easy-to-understand way, and that's exactly what SUMM does with automatic translation into #LeichteSprache, #easylanguage.
A tool with impact:
👉 SUMM is in use in Aschaffenburg, the city publishes press releases in plain language at the push of a button.
👉 SUMM is being used for the Bavarian elections 2023 (Landtagswahl 2023), preparing the election process in Bavaria in an inclusive and understandable way.
We are very proud to see our alumni thrive as inspiring decision-makers and wish the SUMM team all the best for the future!
