Nominations now open for Swedish Steel Prize 2025
November 5, 2024
Nominations are now open for the Swedish Steel Prize 2025, an international award that recognises those who improve their business, industry or society through the creative use of steel. The award, celebrating its 25th anniversary next year, has a submission deadline of December 15, 2024.
Welcoming entries from across the world, the Swedish Steel Prize was established to inspire engineers, designers and inventors to explore steel’s potential. The competition promotes the sharing of innovative solutions that lead to a better and more sustainable world.
“Swedish Steel Prize is a celebration of innovation, engineering and knowledge sharing,” stated Eva Petursson, Chair of the Swedish Steel Prize Jury and Head of Research and Innovation at SSAB. “We are looking for applications that push the boundaries of our imagination and show how steel can help solve challenges in our society.”
The Swedish Steel Prize is open to companies and institutions. It is awarded to the method or product that best demonstrates how steel’s properties have contributed to significant innovation. To qualify, nominated products must be commercially viable and at least exist as prototypes, while the nominated methods must be tested and documented for use in production.
An independent jury assesses all entries based on their level of innovation/creativity, sustainability, performance, and competitiveness.
The winner is presented at an award ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden, during the Swedish Steel Prize Days taking place May 6-8, 2025. During the three days, industry peers come together to discuss and draw inspiration from new steel technologies and their applications. The prize money of SEK 100,000 is donated by SSAB to a charity.
