About the European Inventor Award
The European Inventor Award pays tribute to the creativity of inventors the world over, who use their technical, scientific and intellectual skills to make a real contribution to technological progress and economic growth and so improve people's daily lives. Launched by the European Patent Office (EPO) in 2006, the award gives inventors the recognition they deserve, and helps to encourage creativity and innovation. Any member of the public can nominate an inventor for the European Inventor Award. The selection process relies on the hard work of EPO experts and an independent international jury that evaluates innovations not only on their technological originality but also on their economic and social impact.
