The women&work inventor award is entering the next round. From now on, women with ideas, inventions and innovations can apply again. The application deadline ends on April 10th. The award ceremony will take place on May 9th at women&work, Europe's leading trade fair for women and careers. Further information is available at www.Erfinderinnenpreis.de .
The women&work inventor award will be presented for the fourth time this year. Women are honored by a jury for their innovative ideas and groundbreaking inventions. “The women&work inventor award is very important because the landscape of inventors is still male-dominated. “It is far too little known that women make a decisive contribution to innovatively shaping the future and often find fascinating solutions to give digitalization a social component,” says Melanie Vogel, initiator of the Women Inventors Award.

“Female inventors have made lasting changes in our lives to this day. We cannot afford to do without the talent of inventive women in Germany,” says Dr. Thomas Zielke, Head of Technology Transfer at the Federal Ministry of Economics.
