No company or prototype is required. Proposals can address geopolitical, regulatory and commercial risks; technological and operational risks; or climate and environmental risks. A SmartLab programme is tentatively planned for January and February 2027, followed by a final pitch. Prizes total €6,000: €3,000 for first place, €2,000 for second and €1,000 for third.
