About the Award
The first ceremony took place in 2006. Now, despite the circumstances that unfolded in 2020, it continues to celebrate the creative spirit of each finalist and showcases the inventors who are developing solutions to some of the most pressing problems of our times. The Award recognises the achievements of fifteen finalists in five categories: Industry, Research, Non-EPO countries, SMEs, and Lifetime achievement. From each of these categories, one finalist will receive an Award and we will also reveal the public's favourite inventor in the Popular Prize.
