The Spinoff Prize aims to encourage and give visibility to academic entrepreneurs and their companies.
The judging panel will look for spinoffs that translate original, high-quality scientific research into products and services that address market problems and are well positioned to make a positive impact on society.
The Spinoff Prize will focus on spinoff companies founded on research in life sciences or physical sciences, both of which can include digital technology approaches i.e. including artificial intelligence, deep learning, neuromorphic computing and quantum computing. A shortlist will be profiled in an online special report published in Nature, alongside the list of the companies deemed the ‘ones to watch’.
Shortlisted spinoffs will pitch at the slam panels at Curious2024 – Future Insight™ conference in Mainz, Germany. The winner will receive a €30,000 cash prize.
