Appreciation at the German SME Summit: Ranga Yogeshwar congratulates agilimo Consulting GmbH from Elsenfeld on being awarded the TOP 100 seal. The award ceremony took place as part of the summit on June 28th in Weimar for all medium-sized companies that received the TOP 100 seal at the beginning of the year. The science journalist is accompanying the innovation competition, which is being held for the 31st time, as a mentor. In the scientific selection process, agilimo Consulting was particularly impressive in size class A (up to 50 employees) in the “innovation success” category. The company is one of the top innovators for the third time.
The company portrait published on the occasion of the TOP 100 award states (excerpt): Companies and authorities are not immune to cyber attacks, especially when working mobile. To prevent this, agilimo looks for vulnerabilities from the attackers’ perspective and creates protection concepts. The company is transforming from a pure consulting firm to a provider of cybersecurity, operations and service. The current example is the first German INDIGO project, with which the medium-sized company enables highly secure, ultra-mobile work.
From the idea to an exclusive provider
The story of INDIGO, the Apple security product for transmitting information via iPhone and iPad, sounds exciting:
“INDIGO, our latest innovation for highly secure, ultra-mobile work in accordance with the VS-NfD secrecy standard, was initiated by an employee. At the beginning it was just an idea, but now we are the only ones who fully meet the strict requirements of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).”
Heinrich attributes this success to the lively innovation climate in his own company. Every individual can contribute ideas, the management supports the development with budget and time – and looks for strategic partners for the innovations.

“The innovation climate that is experienced motivates the team to bring in further ideas”
In addition to the INDIGO solution, the efficient cyber defense solution for municipalities is another example of success. In order to cope with the increasing number of orders, 12 new colleagues were hired in 2023 – all recommended by employees. In Jours fixes and using collaboration tools, you decide which ideas will be pursued further. For its “cyber security made in Germany”, agilimo prefers to use German products and German-speaking employees in order to provide its customers with the best service around the clock.
Good prospects for business development
The medium-sized company is now known in the media, among partners, companies and authorities as an innovative driver with a big lead. Managing director Thomas Edelmann makes the steep growth clear:
“With cybersecurity products and INDIGO alone, we expect sales to at least triple in the next few years.”
