Born from Knowledge (BfK) is a program promoted by Agência Nacional de Inovação (ANI), which has the mission to enhance scientific and technological knowledge.
The ultimate objective of this program is to promote, disseminate and reward the production of knowledge and innovation in Portugal, giving emphasis to the investment in Science and its correspondent economic and social impact.
The BfK Awards initiative aims, through the association with Prizes and Contests like World Summit Awards, to distinguish projects that “are born from knowledge”, as well as the companies that excel in activities of R&D.
Being awarded with the sculpture “Árvore do Conhecimento”, by the artist Leonel Moura, is synonymous of scientific excellence and social and economic relevance. Since 2017 we’ve delivered 38 trophies. The next one can be yours!

The presentation of the BfK Awards will be carried out by a representative of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education of the Portuguese Government or, in their absence, ANI may nominate an ANI’s Board Member.
