Two companies in BICO’s Biosciences business area have taken home Red Dot accolades for their groundbreaking product design.

Today, Discover Echo and CYTENA BPS, two companies’ part of the BICO Bioscience business areas were recipients of the illustrious Red Dot Design awards. CYTENA BPS’ S.NEST™ was further recognized as part of the “Best of the Best”, the highest accolade available.

“This marks BICO’s third year in a row being recognized by the Red Dot committee, a wonderful testament to the passion and persistence shown across the organization to develop user centric designed products that truly disrupt workflows in the life sciences industry. This recognition inspires us to continue to focus on design across the group” says Markus Grip, Head of Brand & Design at BICO.

The Red Dot Award is an international competition with a focus on recognizing leading product design across a variety of disciplines. Typically, the organization receives thousands of entrants from a range of organizations. Applications are reviewed by an international jury, comprised of experienced experts from different disciplines and has been convening for over 60 years. The jurors test all the entries to assess not just the aesthetic but also the materials selected, the level of craftsmanship, the surface structure, ergonomics, and functionality.
