After the success of the first edition of the European Capital of Innovation Award (iCapital) 2014, the European Commission launched on July 9th, 2015, a second, even more ambitions edition.
Won by Barcelona in 2014, this competition rewards the European city which is building the best “innovation ecosystem”, connecting citizens, public organisations, academia, and business. Given that urban areas generate two thirds of the EU’s GDP, it is these areas that will contribute the most to making Europe more innovative. The new Capital of Innovation will receive €950 000 to scale up its innovation activities. The second and third cities in the ranking will respectively receive €100 000 and €50 000 for networking activities. The competition is open until 18 November 2015.
