Next year marks the start of a new journey with Iceland hosting the Young Inventors Prize. While the Prize adopts a new format now that it has spun out from the European Inventor Award, it follows many of the same ideals. It is a global showcase that transcends borders, cultures and technical fields, highlighting how younger generations can help society reach the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Our nomination drive has begun and through your professional networks, you are among the best placed to identify rising stars and spot breakthroughs in innovation. I invite you to submit your proposals by 27 September via our nomination platform. Further information on the new Prize concept, nomination process and selection criteria are available on our website.

Furthermore, we would be grateful if you shared the call for nominations with your network. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the project team at european-inventor@epo.org.
