Company Home / Company About us Since 1983, Lünendonk & Hossenfelder has been providing systematic industry and company analysis and consulting for select B2B service markets. Our analyses and data collection focus on the digital & IT, business consulting, audit & tax, legal services, real estate services, personnel services (temporary staffing and IT workforce) and professional development sectors – primarily in German-speaking countries, but with an eye on international developments. In addition to our renowned Lünendonk Lists and other publications, our portfolio includes benchmarks, perception and positioning support and consulting on specific issues. We see ourselves as the navigator and driving force of B2B service markets. Our goal is to guide our clients to peak performance, supporting them in discovering new opportunities and in making the right decisions. Thanks to our extensive database, in-depth expertise and outstanding Lünendonk network, our analysts and consultants are sought-after contacts for service providers, their customers and the media. They are also popular speakers and moderators for presentations, workshops and training sessions. Our company headquarters is located in Mindelheim, district capital of the Unterallgäu district.

The event always begins with a keynote speech by an external speaker from outside the service sector. Participation is only possible with accreditation. Lünendonk B2B Service Award The Lünendonk B2B Service Award is one of the most prestigious and reputable in the industry. On the one hand, service providers cannot apply for it, on the other hand, the award is not tied to any obligations. Every year, Lünendonk & Hossenfelder honors successful individuals and companies from the business-to-business services market in the categories of performance, innovation and lifetime achievement. A jury consisting of 14 chief editors and business editors from renowned media selects the award winners in a secret postal ballot. The Lünendonk B2B Service Award is therefore also an expression of the appreciation of renowned market observers, some of whom have been following the successful work of the award winners for decades. The award ceremony traditionally takes place as part of the Lünendonk Day.
