Ideas that can be developed into innovations are often the key to successful businesses. Have you found a completely new solution, developed a product or service that could lead to commercial opportunities? Over half a million SEK will be awarded to Sweden's most innovative ideas. Now is the time to apply for the SKAPA Prize 2024. You are competing for the SKAPA Prize of SEK 500,000 and the SKAPA Talent Prize for Young Innovators of SEK 250,000.
Every year, the SKAPA Foundation awards the SKAPA Prize and the SKAPA Talent Prize for Young Innovators, with the aim of supporting inventors and innovators to develop their ideas.
Last year's SKAPA award winner was Linnéa Falkinger with her vegan meat CashewMeetly and in 2022 it was Idris Harki with his process for producing natural fragrances. The 2023 finalist for SKAPA talent was Daniel Björkman with his headgear for football players.
