Awards

The Innovact Trophy

This award is given to one innovative company which has taken part in Innovact and has proved to offer a high development potential. The awarded company received €6,000 in 2008. It also benefited from several consulting sessions offered by Multeam, our partner.


Your application to this trophy is made effective as soon as you have registered as a Young Innovative Enterprise in Innovact (either for the business appointments option or as an exhibitor).

The European Innovation Hopes

The European Innovation Hopes are organised in partnership with AEF and its magazine ORS, L’Etudiant, L’Express and L’Entreprise, and with the support of the European Commission, the EFMD and the International Association of Universities. These awards target students, university researchers and European higher education institutions who can offer innovative projects.
The 25-30 pre-selected applications will be presented to a panel of professionals gathered during Innovact on Tuesday 24 March. Theaward ceremony will take place at the forum on the same day at 5PM, with the President of the Jury (in 2008, Luuk Borg, Head of Secretariat for Eureka and Manager of the Eurostars programme). Awarded participants visiting Innovact will also benefit from the promotion that the event generates, given that they have shown imagination and innovation. 6,000 Euros will be on offer for Hopes’ winners.
