The European Commission has launched submissions for the Young European Entrepreneur Award, a competition designed to encourage creative activities among young people across Europe. The award will provide young inventors with crucial mentorship and financial opportunities.
The Young European Entrepreneur Award is open to entrepreneurs under the age of 40 who wish to submit initiatives that address EU priorities such as sustainability, digital transformation, and good social impact. Applications are accepted until March 14, 2025.
The final presentations will take place on June 5, 2025, during European Industry Day in Rzeszów, Poland. The finalists will present their proposals to industry executives, legislators, and possible investors from all throughout Europe. Each of the ten finalists will receive tailored support worth up to 20,000 euros, including advice from industry experts, access to professional networks, and practical tools to help them develop their ideas and ensure long-term success.
