The 2013 EARTO Innovation Prize was awarded at a special ceremony at the outstanding Vaudeville Theatre, in Brussels. Professor Anne Glover, Scientific Adviser to José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, addressed the keynote speech and handled the prize to the winners.

 

The first prize went to VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland LTD for its innovative allergy vaccines technology, an excellent illustration of how RTOs contribute to tackling grand societal challenges.

 

Two other innovations were highly commended by the Jury: in Switzerland the CSEM’s silicon micro-components developed together with Swiss Manufacturers of luxury and high-end watches and in Germany the ePuzzler technology developed by Fraunhofer Gesellschaft.
