The winners of the Young European Inventors Awards were announced today, at a livestream ceremony held in Reykjavik, Iceland. The ten Young European Inventor finalists, called Tomorrow Shapers, were in fact all winners as their teams each received a €5000 prize. However, the jury also selected three teams to each receive an additional €15,000 prize. The three additional prizes, called Community Healer, Nature Guardian, and World Builder, were respectively awarded to:
- Sandra Namboozo and Samuel Muyita (Uganda), for their sachet invention designed to extend the shelf life of fruit and vegetables for 30 days.
- Neeka Mashouf and Leila Mashouf (United States), for the process they invented to transform CO2 emissions into cellulose.
- Marie Perrin (France, United States and Switzerland), for a process designed to recycle rare earth elements from electronic waste.
A fourth €5000 people's choice award was also announced. The popular vote went to:
- Pilar Granado, Pablo Sosa Domínguez and Luis Chimeno (Spain), for the smart food security labels they invented.
Below, the YouTube recorded video of the 2025 Ceremony. A new selection of Young European Inventors (<30 years of age) will again be celebrated in 2027. Inventors >30 years of age will compete next year for a European Inventor Award in Berlin, Germany.
