Whether basketball or golf, archery or running is their game, they all have one thing in common: they are among the very best. Each year, para sports association Behinderten-Sportverband Niedersachsen e.V. (BSN) in Germany names its para sportsperson of the year – and AUCOTEC has sponsored one of the nominees for a number of years now.

“It’s always an incredible experience to see these sportspeople in their element,” explains AUCOTEC Board Member Uwe Vogt. “What they achieve in the sporting arena is genuinely impressive and it’s a special moment for me to meet our nominee before the gala.”

Indeed, on-stage interviews with the sportspeople and their respective sponsors are a traditional part of the gala evening. “It helps a lot that we have met each other already,” says Vogt. “It makes the occasion much less nerve-wracking for all of us.”
