Women entrepreneurs and innovators are building businesses, technologies and practical solutions that can contribute to economic development, social progress and environmental improvement. For those turning innovative ideas into real world applications, recognition can be an opportunity to boost visibility, share their work and highlight the impact achieved through their efforts.
The 2027 European Prize for Women Innovators is an opportunity to reward women working in the areas of innovation and entrepreneurship at European level.
Recognising Women in Innovation
The European Prize for Women Innovators is made to recognise women whose entrepreneurial and innovative activities are contributing to Europe's future.
The focus goes beyond simply developing an idea. The initiative emphasizes women who are applying innovation to make a tangible economic, social or environmental value.
This can include developing economic opportunities, addressing societal challenges, improving people's lives, aiding communities, protecting the environment or introducing new technologies and business approaches.
The award is jointly presented by the EIC and EIT.
