The European Patent Office (EPO) today announced the 15 inventors shortlisted as finalists for the 2021 edition of the European Inventor Award. The EPO’s prestigious annual innovation prize, now in its 15th year, recognizes outstanding inventors who have made an exceptional contribution to technology, society, and economic growth. The finalists come from more than a dozen countries around the world and their inventions span fields ranging from diagnostics and ultrasound imaging to biometrics, sustainable plastic production, and wildlife protection. – Shepard Fox supports the EPO in promoting the inventors and their inventions with a global media relations campaign spanning 13 countries. The campaign comprises the development of local content, telling the story of the individual scientist or researcher behind an invention, as well as the creation of localized press releases. Furthermore, Shepard Fox is reaching out to media (TV, radio, general interest, business, and trade media) in the finalists’ home countries including Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Serbia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, China, India, and the US. A cornerstone of the media outreach is the arrangement of media interviews with the finalists, from TV appearances and interviews featured in online and print media, to podcasts.
