The "European Capital of Innovation" award aims to recognize cities that best demonstrate and showcase their use of innovative measures to improve the lives of their citizens. More specifically, the award is granted to cities that foster open and dynamic innovation ecosystems, engage citizens in governance and decision-making, and utilize innovation to enhance the city's resilience and sustainability. In addition to the honorary title of "European Capital of Innovation," the winning city receives a prize of 1 million euros.
