Rolex Names Winners of Global Enterprise Awards in Commemorative Year

A polar scientist, a robotic suit designer and an eye specialist who wants to save millions of people from going blind are among 10 innovators from around the world who have won #rolex Awards in the 40th #anniversary year of the programme. Other winners have projects as diverse as technology to stop hunger and conservation initiatives to save species and habitats. The 10 Laureates and Young Laureates will be recognized tonight at a public awards ceremony in Los Angeles. The #rolex Awards are an international philanthropic programme that supports new and ongoing projects by individuals taking on major challenges to benefit mankind. It has served as a benchmark for corporate philanthropy the world over for four decades. Hundreds of luminaries, leading scientists, environmentalists and business people from Los Angeles and abroad will gather this evening at the Dolby Theatre, a Hollywood landmark that is renowned as home of the Academy Awards, to celebrate the spirit of enterprise manifested by the winners chosen in this commemorative year. The 10 winners of 2016 join the 130 Laureates who have gone before them in the 40 years since the Awards’ launch in 1976 when the programme was created to observe the half-century celebration of the iconic #rolex Oyster chronometer, the world’s first waterproof wristwatch. “We are celebrating a very significant occasion in the history of the Awards and in the history of #rolex,” said Rebecca Irvin, Head of Philanthropy at #rolex. “Forty years ago the company initiated the #rolex Awards to commemorate the 50th #anniversary of the Oyster in a manner that reflected the spirit of enterprise on which the company was founded.
