The Social Innovation Prize from the Lisbon City Council, organized by the Unicorn Factory Lisboa and supported by the European Innovation Council, aims to discover and support innovative and impactful solutions that can be applied to the city of Lisboa.
The European recognition of the work by the Lisboa City Council and Unicorn Factory Lisboa in promoting innovation and entrepreneurship led to the city’s distinction in 2023 as the European Capital of Innovation. This European recognition translated into a monetary prize of one million euros for the city of Lisboa, which will fund the Social Innovation Award – Lisboa Innovation for All – 2024 Social Impact Challenge, organized by Unicorn Factory Lisboa.
The goal of this mobilizing initiative is to identify, promote, and enhance innovative solutions to address the main social challenges faced by cities and that can have practical application in Lisboa. The Lisboa Innovation For All Social Innovation Award is divided into three categories, corresponding to three challenge areas: Quality of Education, Access to Healthcare, and Integration of Migrants.
This award is aimed at national and international startups, scaleups, and entrepreneurs who have an idea or a project in development, in testing, or operational in other locations that can be refined and adapted to Lisboa. It is a call to the talent and creativity of entrepreneurs, aiming for them to contribute to the well-being of populations, some of which are from more vulnerable segments.
