Prix Voltaire International • Noordwijk aan Zee, The Netherlands • 2019
This award is granted to a person making a difference through activities which are of substantial relevance to society and have a clear innovative identity.
Created by Nyenrode Business University, based on the 17 sustainable development goals initiated by the United Nations. Individuals fighting for innovation and development, against dogmas or modern institutions just like the French philosopher Voltaire did, are therefore very urgently needed.
We call them the Friendly Fighters For Future-proof Fundamentals. They are an example for us all with their spirit of persistence, belief, vision, enthusiasm, persuasion and last but not least: action. They go on and continue where others stop, for the benefit of us all. These individuals deserve our attention and warm support.
