The selection committee, consisting of Osborne Clarke Partner Konstantin Ewald, Michael von Bach (thjnk), Prof. Tobias Kollmann (University of Duisburg-Essen) and Michael Wieser (High-Tech Gründerfonds), chose Anna as the winner for ‘a simple idea, a smart model, a smart business model and a passionate founder.”
Anna founded Fast Forward Imaging with the intention of establishing a new standard of imaging on the internet. With her photographic technology, anyone who has an online shop on the internet, is able to display his products accurately in every detail in order to make it attractive to prospective customers. The product photography for the multi-channel communication tool is going to be cheaper, faster and will provide consistently high quality and maximum flexibility.
