About the ACES

The ACES competition, now in its fourth year, is the only pan-European award programme for spin-outs based on university research or work done at public research institutes.

They give public recognition to the talented researchers, engineers, professors and students forging a new entrepreneurial culture on campus by launching a spin-out company or developing a discovery into a marketable innovation.

The ACES awards draw nominations across all science and technology disciplines Europewide and are judged by the Science|Business Innovation Board, a leadership panel co-founded by Science|Business, business schools INSEAD and ESADE, in association with Microsoft and BP.
We are very much looking forward to your participation. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information, should you have any questions.
