About the Innovation Radar Prize
The Innovation Radar is the European Commission’s initiative to make it easier to discover innovations emerging from research and innovation projects financed by the EU under Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, the world’s largest public funded research programmes. Putting a spotlight on excellence, its goal is to allow citizens, public officials, investors and corporates to discover the outputs of EU innovation funding. It offers the opportunity to seek out innovators who could follow in the footsteps of companies such as BioNTech, Skype, TomTom and ARM Holdings, all of whom received EU funding in their early days.
This year’s prize scheme was open to over 2000 EU-funded innovators across Europe – SMEs and Universities/Research Institutes – developing a wide range of ground-breaking innovations. It focused on innovators in 3 categories: ‘Innovation in Sustainability Tech‘, ‘Innovation in Health Tech‘ and ‘Innovation in Disruptive Science‘. These SMEs, university teams, spinoffs and start-ups reflect the diversity of EU-funded research and innovation and come from every corner of Europe.
The Innovation Radar platform can be accessed on the web or via the Apple app store and the Google app store.
