The FAOBMB Entrepreneurship Award is given triennially to a biochemist or molecular biologist, in recognition of outstanding achievement in entrepreneurship in biochemistry or molecular biology, especially innovation and creativity in research or technology, and their translation to broader aspects. Applicants must be members of a constituent Society or Group within FAOBMB with at least 2 years of continuous membership immediately prior to the nomination.

The award winner will also receive an honorarium and travel/accommodation allowance (the amounts are subject to change over time), provided by FAOBMB and sponsoring organizations.
The next FAOBMB Entrepreneurship Award will be presented in 2023 at the 30th FAOBMB Conference to be held in Bangkok, Thailand (22-25 November, 2023).
