Crédito Agrícola has launched another edition of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Award, an initiative aimed at identifying, rewarding, and supporting the best initiatives in our country. Applications can be submitted through the form available here until June 28th.

The 11th edition of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Award focuses on the theme of innovation, and each project must fit into one of the four existing categories. They are Energy Transition and Carbon Neutrality; Response to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses; Valorization of Endogenous Resources; and Food and Nutritional Security.

From the pool of submitted applications, the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Award also considers three special recognition distinctions. The BfK Awards distinction, exclusively awarded by ANI, renews its partnership in the competition and is aimed at the finalist project that, regardless of category, is considered the “best example of a knowledge-driven project.” The High Potential Project promoted by Crédito Agrícola Association and the Honorable Mention for Innovation in Partnership constitute the other special recognition distinctions.

The total prize amount to be awarded is €30,000, which corresponds to €5,000 for the winner of each of the four categories and for the High Potential Project promoted by Crédito Agrícola Association, in the special recognition distinction. In the same distinction, the prize amount for the Honorable Mention for Innovation in Partnership and for the BfK Awards by ANI is €2,500 per project.

The detailed information and regulations for the 11th edition of the Crédito Agrícola Entrepreneurship and Innovation Award can be consulted here.

Crédito Agrícola reinforces its commitment to regional valorization and development, as well as its support for the agricultural sector, which it has been fostering over the years.
