Yesterday, GNV GmbH was invited to participate for the first time as a newly crowned Hidden Champion at LEG Thüringen’s ChampionsMEET in the exclusive setting of the Spa & Golf Resort Weimarer Land in Blankenhain – an outstanding event that brings together Thuringia’s global market and technology leaders.
Thuringia ChampionsMEET is a high-profile event that celebrates Thuringia’s economic strength while focusing on the connection between business and sport. Every year, the Free State’s leading companies come together here to exchange ideas and honor the successes of the so-called “hidden champions.” These companies are highly innovative and have established themselves as global market and technology leaders.
Events like these further strengthen the region, positively influencing not only the economic but also the social landscape of Thuringia. The combination creates a dynamic and inspiring environment that promotes regional businesses and talent.

Another highlight is the close connection between business and sport. The German U21 national team prepared for their European Championship at the same location, demonstrating that Thuringia is also a sought-after destination in the soccer scene. As GNV GmbH was recently named the 100th Hidden Champion, managing director Sandro Neumann was personally presented with an original DFB jersey bearing the number 100 by soccer legend Rudi Völler.

The increasing number of participants and growing attention for the “hidden champions” demonstrate how important this initiative is for promoting the region’s economic success. Events like this further strengthen the region, which has a positive impact not only on Thuringia’s economic landscape but also on its social landscape. The combination of business and sport creates a dynamic and inspiring environment that promotes regional companies and talent.
The Thüringer ChampionsMEET is an important building block for Thuringia’s economic development. By combining business and sport, a unique event is created that promotes both regional and global competitiveness. This event is visible proof of the Free State’s economic attractiveness and its ability to turn regional champions into global success stories.
