The European Patent Office (EPO) has recently announced the European Inventor Award winners, who were chosen by a jury of leading experts in their fields. This year was also the first time that the young inventors were celebrated, with the inaugural Young Inventors prize recognising innovators aged 30 and younger. The award ceremony was held in a hybrid format, and participants joined from all around the world. If you were not able to watch the live event, you can follow the recording via inventoraward.org.
