3rd place for Oulu in the iCap­i­tal 2024 com­pe­ti­tion

Oulu proud­ly claimed a podi­um fin­ish when the Euro­pean Inno­va­tion Coun­cil award­ed the annu­al iCap­i­tal prizes on Novem­ber 13 in Lis­bon.

The Euro­pean Cap­i­tal of Inno­va­tion Awards (iCap­i­tal) com­pe­ti­tion fea­tures two cat­e­gories: the Euro­pean Cap­i­tal of Inno­va­tion for cities with over 250,000 inhab­i­tants and the Euro­pean Ris­ing Inno­v­a­tive City for cities with under 250,000 inhab­i­tants.

The grand prize in the Euro­pean Ris­ing Inno­v­a­tive City cat­e­go­ry was award­ed to Bra­ga, Por­tu­gal, with a prize sum of 500,000 euros. Oulu secured third place, while Linz, Aus­tria, came in sec­ond. Both received recog­ni­tion awards of 50,000 euros each. The results of the com­pe­ti­tion, orga­nized for the 10th time by the Euro­pean Inno­va­tion Coun­cil, were announced on Novem­ber 13 at the Web Sum­mit event in Lis­bon, which was cho­sen as the Euro­pean Cap­i­tal of Inno­va­tion in 2023.
