EU Prize for Women Innovators 2019
The EU Prize for Women Innovators is a cash prize awarded every year to European women who founded a successful company and brought an innovation to market.
The prize will be awarded to up to 4 women innovators in total, who have had the largest impact on the innovation ecosystem by transforming ideas into new and advanced products and/ services for the benefit of European citizens. Women are underrepresented in terms of creating innovative enterprises. This is untapped potential for Europe, which needs to optimise all available resources to remain competitive and find solutions to our societal challenges. This award recognises the role of women in bringing about game-changing innovations to market and honours the outstanding achievements of female entrepreneurs running innovative companies.
The contest is open to women from across the EU and countries associated to Horizon 2020, who have founded a successful company and brought innovation to market. The deadline is the 16th of January 2019 and the participants can apply online. More information and application here.
