EuropaBio has opened its call for the “Most Innovative EU Biotech SME” prize, which awards €10,000 to the winning SME and a free two-year EuropaBio membership to all the finalists.

The winning SME will be announced in an event held on 8 October in Brussels as part of European Biotech Week, 6 through 10 October. More than 100 events are expected to take place throughout the week, focusing on the benefits biotechnology can contribute in areas like climate change, growth and employment, industrial processes, health and food.
The panel of judges is made up of G. Steven Burrill, founder and CEO of Burrill&Company and head of one of the benchmark reports in the sector; Tom Saylor, CEO of Arecor and chair of the EuropaBio SME Platform; Nathalie Moll, general secretary of EuropaBio; and one member of the European Parliament.
The deadline for applications is 1 July.
