Why?
The world is changing, and the future is constantly developing. We see entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs within engineering driving real change around the world. Entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs act in the same way, with the same qualities but within different arenas.
With this award, we want to highlight all engineers who act as good examples for current and future generations. We believe that by strengthening people’s entrepreneurial skills and unlocking the power of people’s inner drive great things will happen!
