The Houska Prize was established by the B&C Private Foundation in 2005 to improve the financial basis for innovation and research in Austria and to express its appreciation for the outstanding research work being done in Austria.

"Our foundation's purpose is to promote Austrian entrepreneurship. By promoting applied research, we would like to contribute to economic innovation in this sense," explained Erich Hampel, Chairman of the Board of the B&C Private Foundation.

In the now 18th edition of the research award, the golden statue will be awarded in a festive award ceremony on April 27, 2023, in the categories "University Research," "Research & Development in SMEs" and, for the first time, "Non-University Research."

"The projects submitted for the Houskapreis 2023 are all characterized by the fact that they can achieve special significance for the domestic economy in practical use," said Hampel.

The runners-up will receive prize money of 60,000 euros each and the third-place winners 20,000 euros each. The other nominees will each receive 10,000 euros. With total prize money of 750,000 euros, the Houska Prize of the B&C Private Foundation is the largest private prize for applied research in Austria.
