About the Atlas award:
2022 is the sixth year in which the Atlas Award event is held in partnership with the Ayn Rand Center, TheMarker, the Prometheus Foundation and other partners.
As in any other year, the award will be bestowed on an Israeli start-up company that created a technology, idea or product with exceptional value locally and globally over the past year in one of the following categories:
- Healthcare and Life Sciences (HCLS)
- Food Technology (Food Tech)
- Supply Chain Management (SCM)
- Energy Development (ED)
- Quantum Computing and Cybersecurity (QCC)
The companies nominated for the award are chosen after extensive consideration by a team comprising of members of the event's partners – from among the innovative and outstanding start-up companies in Israel in the last year which meet the criteria of a groundbreaking company in Israel and in the world.
After receiving the details of the contestant companies and confirming their willingness to participate, they will be presented to the judging committee – which will choose the leading company among the contestants, the winner of the Atlas Award.
The Award:
The Atlas Award, which is a sculpture donated by the acclaimed sculptor Richard Minns Z"L, is a statue representing an unprecedented image of the mythological Atlas lifting the world as a token of appreciation for extraordinary achievement. The award is intended to put on the public agenda the aspiration for creativity, for breaking boundaries and for prosperity – and to express appreciation for the leading start-up company in Israel in the past year. The award valued at 100,000 USD.
