The winners of the European Inventor Award 2019 will be announced later this week (20 June) when the EPO and IP community come together to celebrate the spirit of innovation at a ceremony in Vienna. The award, now in its 14th year, is one of Europe’s most prestigious prizes for inventors.
Awards will be presented to the winners of each of the five categories: "Industry", "Research", "Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)", "Non-EPO countries", and "Lifetime achievement", in addition to the winner of the Popular Prize, who is selected by the public from among the 15 finalists via online voting.
