About Our Innovation Prize
Boehringer Ingelheim’s Innovation Prize was established in Boston in 2015 to recognize the challenge and dedication of life-science entrepreneurs in advancing new ideas and new science.
Jointly sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and the Boehringer Ingelheim Venture Fund, the prize* facilitates business growth, allowing recipients to focus on developing the next generation of breakthrough medicines. The Prize is established in the USA, Japan, China and various innovation ecosystems in Europe, including Austria.
