Twice a year, the GENIVI Alliance gives the Most Valuable Contributers Awards to individuals or companies that excel in the GENIVI Alliance through exceptional performance, particularly in the domains of Code Contribution and Technical Leadership.

This year, Dr. Klaus Birken, Principal Engineer in the automotive sector at itemis AG in Stuttgart, is among the winners. He is particularly honored for his contribution to the activities of the GENIVI Alliance as initiator and technical lead of the open source project Franca.
