2018 European capital of innovation

The €1 million iCapital first prize was announced at the Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal on 6 November, with five other European cities receiving runner-up prizes of €100,000.

‘Athens has shown a new dimension to what we mean by innovation. It is not only for the powerful, well-resourced and prosperous cities, it is for everyone,’ said Athens’ mayor Georgios Kaminis, when the award was announced.

Last year’s iCapital winner was Paris, France.
