Mission Innovation Champions

The pro­gram was launched at the oc­ca­sion of the Third Mis­sion In­no­va­tion Min­is­te­r­ial (MI-3) on 22-23 May 2018 at Malmö, Swe­den, and is cur­rently ac­cept­ing reg­is­tra­tions.

The pro­gram will rec­og­nize ex­cep­tional re­searchers and in­no­va­tors who are de­vel­op­ing novel ways of mak­ing en­ergy cleaner, cheaper, and more re­li­able and using it more ef­fi­ciently – call­ing world­wide at­ten­tion to the most promis­ing ideas from across the globe.

This pro­gram is part of the global ini­tia­tive Mis­sion In­no­va­tion and will con­tribute to its ob­jec­tives by fos­ter­ing cross-bor­der ex­changes of ideas and tal­ent, while also rais­ing a greater aware­ness amongst the wider clean en­ergy com­mu­nity of the trans­for­ma­tional po­ten­tial of en­ergy in­no­va­tion.

Mis­sion In­no­va­tion Cham­pi­ons are in­di­vid­u­als with a track record of pro­gress­ing cre­ative new ideas that can drive the pace and scale of the clean en­ergy rev­o­lu­tion “” the peo­ple who are in­vent­ing the prod­ucts and ser­vices of the fu­ture or dis­cov­er­ing the sci­ence that un­der­pins them. They may be work­ing in gov­ern­ment lab­o­ra­to­ries, local uni­ver­si­ties, long-stand­ing re­search firms, or their own re­cently launched clean tech­nol­ogy start-up com­pa­nies. Cham­pi­ons may be from “tra­di­tional” in­ven­tor dis­ci­plines such as sci­ences, en­gi­neer­ing, math­e­mat­ics, and ar­chi­tec­ture or from other fields.

One Cham­pion from each Mis­sion In­no­va­tion mem­ber par­tic­i­pat­ing in the pro­gram will be se­lected. Par­tic­i­pat­ing coun­tries in­clude: Aus­tralia, Aus­tria, Canada, China, Den­mark, Eu­ro­pean Com­mis­sion, Fin­land, France, Ger­many, India, Italy, Japan, Mex­ico, Nether­lands, Nor­way, Re­pub­lic of Korea, Saudi Ara­bia, Swe­den, and the United Arab Emi­rates.

The Cham­pion for the Eu­ro­pean Com­mis­sion will be se­lected from a Eu­ro­pean Union coun­try that is not an in­di­vid­ual mem­ber of Mis­sion In­no­va­tion; this means: Bel­gium, Bul­garia, Croa­tia, Cyprus, Czech Re­pub­lic, Es­to­nia, Greece, Hun­gary, Ire­land, Latvia, Lithua­nia, Lux­em­bourg, Malta, Poland, Por­tu­gal, Ro­ma­nia, Slo­va­kia, Slove­nia, and Spain.
