Changing the World Through Invention
Each day scientists, engineers and inventors are motivated by ideas. The prestigious $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize recognizes individuals who turn their ideas into inventions and innovations that change the world we live in and improve life for all of us.
Dubbed the "Oscar for Inventors," the $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize is bestowed upon outstanding mid-career inventors, who have developed a patented product or process of significant value to society, which could be or has been adopted for practical use. By recognizing and funding younger, mid-career inventors, the prize is designed to spur inventive careers and provide role models for future generations of inventors. |  |
