Cumdente and ApaCare: Top 100 Innovator 2026
Innovation with Impact

Cumdente is one of the TOP 100 most innovative companies in Germany
Awarded for innovation. Driven by science.

The Cumdente GmbH has been awarded the renowned TOP 100 Innovation Award 2026, officially ranking among Germany's most innovative SMEs. The award was presented at the German Mittelstand Summit in Heidelberg by President a. D. Christian Wulff.

For us, this recognition is both confirmation and motivation.

Under the motto “Science behind Oral Health”, we are not only developing innovative products but a new generation of scientifically based health solutions. With our brands ApaCare®, OraLactin® and ApaCare® Essentials we combine oral health, microbiome, prevention, nutrition and healthy ageing into an integrated health platform.

Increasing scientific evidence shows that health begins in the mouth. A healthy oral microbiome influences far more than teeth and gums – it is closely linked to blood pressure, metabolism, cardiovascular health and healthy ageing.

Our aim: translate current research into innovative everyday products that make health simple, effective and accessible to everyone.

Innovation with scientific foundations. For a healthier future.

Recognising pioneers, what matters tomorrow

Cumdente and ApaCare belong to the companies that recognise early on which developments will be decisive for medicine and dentistry in the future – and translate these into solutions consistently.

These include, among others:

specialised AI applications for dentistry that go far beyond general AI systems and integrate clinical expertise,
the targeted use of new scientific findings on the importance of the oral microbiome,
as well as the transfer of complex medical interrelationships into .

Thought from the mouth. Developed for the body.

Science and clinical practice increasingly show that the oral microbiome is not only relevant for teeth and gums, but also linked to metabolism, circulation, performance and long-term health.

Cumdente and ApaCare build on these natural, highly intelligent regulatory mechanisms to develop concepts, preventive products and functional foods that support health in daily life – proactively, clearly and easily usable.

Innovation with societal benefit

Everyone knows: sugar, classic sweets and empty calories harm health – and yet they are consumed daily.

Our answer to this are intelligent alternatives: products that combine enjoyment with meaning and contribute to what the body truly needs in daily life – for the mouth, the microbiome and the body.

The TOP 100 Innovator award confirms exactly this path:

Innovation that takes responsibility.
Technology that serves people.
Medicine that reaches daily life.
