The Award is 5.000 Euro and will be donated to an entrepreneur or business who is considered to be the best representative for either having:

  • Designed/created a product or service that is developed to reduce the number of products in our households OR
    • a feature designed to prolong the lifetime usage of other already existing products OR
    • a thoughtful packing that has a purpose/function after unwrapping
    • features to stimulate kids’ senses and thus increase their ability to learn
