+ The Gran Prize was officially established on 12th December, 2012, by the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Hungary (SCCH) to stimulate innovative thinking aimed at improving the quality of life. The Chamber chose a popular Swedish symbol, the pine tree, as the emblem of the prize. For most of the planet, the pine tree represents Christmas and is also a metaphor for nature.

+ Ancient philosophers discussed happiness and living in harmony with nature, and this aspiration is becoming vital to modern man too. Gran in Swedish means pine tree, pointing to the characteristics of this award focused on sustainable development and environmental protection.
+The Chamber's aim with this prize is twofold; firstly, to support and award outstanding innovative achievements, and secondly, to facilitate intercultural communication.
+In the spirit of open, consensus-based thinking, which is such a vital part of Swedish society, and with the aim of furthering Swedish-Hungarian cooperation, the SCCH has opened entry to the Gran Prize for every progressive company and private person in Hungary.

+ The Gran Prize is an annual prize awarded for outstandingly innovative solutions in response to the most pressing issues of our planet, in the field of environmental protection, sustainable development, design, medicine, health preservation and development, and education.
+The prize can be awarded to private persons, groups, companies, associations, organisations, institutions, students or student teams, as decided by the judging panel of the Gran Prize.

+ The Gran Prize judging panel consists of leading authorities, scientists, and media representatives. The Board of Directors also decided to ensure the highest quality throughout the process of the Gran Prize initiative, including the choice of professional partners and the judging panel. The members of the judging panel may change from year to year, the permanent members being three directors from the Chamber.
+As announced publically by the SCCH to the press, the Chamber set aside HUF 5 million from its capital to finance this innovative prize from the annually accrued interest, and will invite other progressive decision makers and private individuals to participate with their sponsorship.

+ The Gran Prize is a piece of art created by Swedish artist Ann Lundin and Hungarian artist Károly Szász. The sculpture is made of pebble and glass with a pine relief on its top; the amalgam of a timeless survivor with a human touch on innovation. It should be different each year, but always made of pebble and glass with a Gran pine relief.

+ As part of the prize, the awardee receives, as a token of appreciation, a Swedish pine tree, CITRUS ATLANTICUS, from the Folly Arboretum founded in 1878, to be planted at the awardee's alma mater.
+The Award Giving Ceremony Gran Gala is held annually in May. Each year, in the week following the award gala, the so-called GRAN WEEK is held, when the winner of the award presents the winning entry and members of the SCCH hold presentations for university students.
