Innovation deserves recognition

Is your project about to be launched or is it already successfully established on the market? Does it have a clear focus on innovation and help to address current challenges?

Then take this opportunity to present your project to a wide audience and submit it for the Styria Innovation Award 2027.

Now in its sixth year, the Innovation Award recognises outstanding projects by Styrian companies and research institutions in the fields of digitalisation and sustainability. We are looking for innovations that address current challenges, offer concrete applications and make a lasting contribution to the successful further development of Styria as a centre for business and research.

What your project should offer

Does your innovation project provide solutions to key challenges in the fields of digitalisation or sustainability and have a clearly identifiable practical and market relevance? Does it boost regional value creation, is it close to market implementation or already established in the market, and does it demonstrate a high level of innovation? If so, the Styria Innovation Award 2027 is the perfect opportunity for your project.

The assessment criteria include, amongst other things, the level of innovation, entrepreneurial risk, macroeconomic impact, market potential, as well as collaborations and skills development.

Why it’s worth taking part

For more than 30 years, outstanding innovation projects have been recognised in Styria. Behind these projects are people, companies and research institutions whose ideas, technologies and solutions are shaping the future and sustainably strengthening Styria as a business location.

Take advantage of this opportunity and demonstrate the contribution your innovation project makes to the future of Styria as a centre for business and research. Taking part in the Styria Innovation Award offers you a unique platform to showcase your innovative strength beyond your own sector and present it to a wide audience.
