To mark World Creativity and Innovation Day, FEDIL announces the official launch of the call for entries for its 2026 Innovation Award. This new edition is being organised for the first time in collaboration with the national innovation agency Luxinnovation and with the support of Banque de Luxembourg.
Awarded alternately each year with the Environment Award, the FEDIL Innovation Award highlights projects offering significant added value to the Luxembourg economy. It recognises innovators and researchers working within companies as well as independent innovators and young talent. Submitted projects must stand out for their innovative nature, originality and potential contribution to Luxembourg’s economic development.
The rules and the application form are available below. Applications must be submitted by 6 July 2026 at the latest.
“Since 1982, FEDIL has been committed, through this award, to encouraging research, a spirit of innovation and excellence within companies. To date, 96 winners have been honoured. This 27th edition will mark the symbolic milestone of 100 awards, thus illustrating our long-standing commitment to creativity and technological progress,” emphasises René Winkin, General Manager of FEDIL.
“For over 40 years, Luxinnovation and FEDIL have shared the same objective: to make innovation a driver of sustainable economic development for Luxembourg. As an innovation agency, we support nearly a thousand companies each year in their innovation initiatives, from start-ups to established large groups. Collaborating with FEDIL on this award is fully in line with our mission to recognise and encourage the concrete innovation efforts of our companies, which are essential for remaining competitive,” explains Mario Grotz, CEO of Luxinnovation.
The jury, comprising experts from the public and private sectors, will announce the winners at a ceremony to be held on 30 November 2026 in the auditorium of the Banque de Luxembourg.
