Explore a “new” source of funding for NGOs

Deadline: 1 August 2025

The CER Innovation Prize is now open to celebrate and empower bold ideas shaping a better future.

Each year, three outstanding ventures are recognized for their innovation, impact, and ethical vision.

Rooted in a tradition of values-driven leadership, the CER Innovation Prize continues to shine a spotlight on exceptional founders across Europe and Israel.

The CER Innovation Prize was created to recognize and support entrepreneurs who are not only building breakthrough technologies but doing so with a commitment to improving the world. Guided by the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam—repairing the world—they aim to uplift ventures that fuse innovation with responsibility, vision with values.

Eligibility Criteria

• Startup must be up and running
• Applicants must represent a European, Eastern European Country or Israel.
