Intrapreneurship prize

Through collaboration between Danfoss and IDEA, Mads Clausen’s Prize of Honour for Intrapreneurship was instituted in 2005 – the year when Mads Clausen would have turned 100. It is awarded to an employee or a team that has made an extraordinary effort as an entrepreneur or innovator internally in the company, for instance by developing a new business area or start a subsidiary.
