Ten young inventors. One stage. Countless ideas shaping our future.
This was the European Patent Office’s Young Inventors Prize 2025 in Reykjavík - a room full of tomorrow.
Ten Tomorrow Shapers under 30, whose innovations go far beyond technology and make a lasting impact on our world:
From e-waste recycling ♻️ to CO₂ storage 🌱, to new aviation technology ✈️ and food security 🌾.
It was far more than an award ceremony.
It was moments of recognition, shared emotions and inspiring stories – followed live on site, on TV and online by millions of people.
Hosted by Benedikt Weber and 13-year-old Capucine Auffret, the voice of the next generation, the event was filled with passion and purpose – an experience that inspires and connects.
Why are award events like this so much more than mere ceremonies?
_They reveal the true power of events.
_They connect content with emotion, innovation with purpose.
_They create experiences that reach far beyond the stage - into social media, the press, minds and hearts.
A heartfelt thank-you to the European Patent Office for their trust, and to our fantastic VOK DAMS Munich team for the outstanding event management.
