European Young Inventors prize 2023

Deadline: October 3, 2022

The inaugural Young Inventors prize cast a spotlight on three ground-breaking initiatives and highlighted the power of younger generations in shaping our world. Thanks to these inventors, we have technology that enables earlier disease detection, an initiative to encourage recycling, and products to improve the health and well-being of disadvantaged groups.

While the 2022 edition is behind us, you can shape the next prize. If you know of an innovator aged 30 and under who uses technology to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, nominate them for the prize in 2023. The nomination form is now live and you may submit a proposal on or before Monday, 3 October 2022.
