The Rolex Awards for Enterprise support pioneering work in five areas:
applied technology,
cultural heritage,
environment, exploration and discovery, and
science and health.
Projects are assessed on their originality, potential for impact, feasibility, and, above all, on the candidates own spirit of enterprise.
Winners are innovators who typically work outside the mainstream and often have limited accesss to traditional funding. Rather than reward past achievements, the Rolex Awards provide financial assistance and recognition to individuals embarking on new ventures or carrying out ongoing projects.
