In this section, you will find everything you need to know about the application and the selection process for the Science & Technology Pioneer Award, a thematic award that we launched in 2021.
More than ever, we need to fuel innovation by women. This award is especially dedicated to recognizing women impact entrepreneurs at the forefront of scientific and technological innovation. Open to women entrepreneurs from any country and sector, this award highlights disruptive solutions built around unique, protected, or hard-to-reproduce technological or scientific advances that require heavy R&D, a long commercialization cycle, high capital intensity, technology risk, and complexity.
Applications for the 2027 edition are now open, and will close at 2 p.m. (CEST) on June 16, 2026.
